exceeded expectations
By Debmed13 from Montevallo, AL on 5/27/2020
Fit: NA
I bought this for our Grandson. When it arrived I personally tried it. I am above the weight limit and it held me up, so I was sure it would be perfect for him. He loves it. The ease of putting it on and it not interfering with his arm movements and he can still jump in and it is perfect. He does not mind putting it on when in the deep end. He will surely be an expert swimmer come end of the season. Thank you so much

This bubble is perfect!!!!!!
By Ashley from Texas on 3/21/2020
Fit: NA
Honestly when this arrived I didn’t think it was going to work. I put it on my daughter in the swimming pool for spring break and it is amazing!!! I am very happy with this. It keeps her afloat while also giving her the freedom to swim around and learn on her own!

Perfect for my two year old granddaughter!!
By Nonni of four from Boston, Na. on 7/14/2019
This is a great product to help my granddaughter gain confidence in the pool. As she gets better swimming you can let the air out until gradually all the air is gone and she is swimming in her own. Worked great with my older grandchildren. This was the only place I could find it as it is not carried by my local Y anymore.

Great next step from the puddle jumpers. Bigger too!
By Sabrina from California on 6/29/2018
My daughter outgrew her puddle jumper 2 years ago. This has been a great supplement. She's 7, wears a size 8 and is 68 lbs. Based on other reviews I thought there would be more room to grow. She is maxed on width for the belt size but there's still a little room for stretch. She wears it with a rash guard. Nice quality and she loves it! We bought the mermaid design.

We love it!
By CLG from Chesaning, MI on 7/9/2016
This is a great swimming aid. It's adorable and my daughter likes wearing it. This is a great option for older kids who are still learning to swim. At age 6 my daughter had already exceeded the weight limit for items like the Puddle Jumper. The Swim Buoy supports kids up to 100 pounds and is less cumbersome. My daughter has made progress in her swimming skills since we purchased this, also. I was hesitant to spend the money on this, especially when I could just buy water wings for a few bucks, but I really think this was a good investment. Thanks for carrying the Swim Buoy. I think this is an excellent product.

Excellent Swim Teaching Device
By Norskier from Maryland on 7/6/2016
We have used these to teach many kids how to swim. The concept of "a bubble on the back" seems to work very well. It leaves the hands free and enables kids to learn to swim in a natural way. Thirty or more years ago we started with a styrofoam bubble that worked for our own kids. We can't get that anymore, so we found these and they work great. We use them now for our grandchildren. The only downside is that the cloth wears out eventually whereas the styrofoam really didn't. The kids do like the colorful patterns on the bubbles.

Awesome bubble
By Jsko from NJ on 5/5/2016
My 22 month son took off on his own after the third time in the pool with this bubble. Works great. Even took it with us when we traveled to an island. He used it on he beach too. He knows he can't go in the pool without it so he asks for it on. Fits great and is comfortable for him.

SWIM BUOY
By Bet from UNIONTOWN PA on 11/30/2015
This product is great for swimmers age 3 and above. Great tool for teaching child how to swim on their own with less help from instructor. These bubbles have a tendency for their covering to tear away from the inner bubble. This is after several times of using them however. Over all this is a great tool for swim lessons.

Swim bubble
By DJAllen82 from Arkansas on 9/8/2015
It works great for our 4 year old who is starting to swim some independently in shallow water, but still needs reassurance in deeper water. My only complaint is that the adjustable straps don't stay tight very well. So far I have been very pleased with this product.

3-year old granddaughter loves it!
By Grama Deb from Camden, NY on 8/11/2015
Swim bubble has allowed my granddaughter to gain confidence trying to swim. After 1 week, she is using her hands AND feet while doing the doggie paddle. Son has added goggles to keep water splashes and chlorine out of her eyes and she now puts her face in the water, too! Keep in mind that this is not a life jacket--you must be near the water while using this swim bubble!

Great Product
By AZ from Hazleton, PA on 8/4/2015
Bought this for my 5 year old daughter to help her learn how to swim without those arm floats. She can move around and actually swim now without being so restricted. I remember using these bubbles many years ago during swimming lessons and am so happy to have found they are still being made. Shipping was fast.

Works like I'd hoped.
By Chris from St, Louis, Mo on 7/28/2015
Places them in a swimming position, unlike life vests, and allows them free use of their arms for swimming. My grandkids love them. Only thing I found was that the belt loosens up while they're swimming. Solved this by pinning in place.

By mandamommy from Brockport, NY on 7/9/2015
My daughter loves her swim buoy. it fits great and was easy to adjust. It gives her that extra bit of confidence to swim on her own. Normally she clings to me the entire time in the pool - the swim buoy is great for both of us :)

By Retail Store from Ohio on 7/6/2015
I actually manage 3 retail stores and all of which sell Swimline merchandise. At this point in the year its hard for me to order 1 of 2 of an item so I found and ordered these. They came quick and in new, packaged for retail condition! If need be, I would definitely order these again. Great business transaction!

Great Product!
By Cheryl from North Palm Beach, FL on 6/21/2015
Bought this for my 3 yr. old grandson. He was very reluctant at first, but after using the bubble twice he became more confident in his swimming abilities and realized he's not going to "fall". It's great to see him come over, put his bubble on and jump in the pool and swim around with his older cousin. I have two more younger grandchildren and I will probably buy a couple more of these bubbles for them when they get a little older. Everything about this product is great!

Swim Buoy Inflatable Swim Bubble
By Linda from Boonsboro MD on 8/18/2014
My children used this for their swim lessons and then I decided to buy them their own. They are great because it really frees the kids up to learn how to swim, other floatation devices and life jackets are to restrictive and this is easy to use and recommended by swim schools.

Great teaching tool for Pre-Schoolers
By M.Dooley from Medina, NY on 7/26/2014
Swim Buoy is a must swim aid in our lesson programs. It allows the young swimmers to gain confidence and independence. This product is unique in that as the swimmer gets stronger air can be relieved from the buoy to promote correct water position.
It is comfortable for the children to wear. The cloth shell does not irritate the swimmers backs even on the youngest of students.
Lastly, the variety of fun prints to choose from makes shopping for them a treat.

Service excellent. Product exactly what I ordered.
By PantherME from Pittsburgh, PA on 7/20/2014
Taking my son to swim lessons and the instructor swears by these. She asked that I get my son his own so that his air level would not be changed. I ordered the product on July 2 and they said it would arrive on July 8(the day of his next lesson). Even with the Fourth of July holiday, the bubble arrived on July 5! My son is using it and loves it.

Great Product
By CG from Massachusetts on 5/2/2014
My kids love their swim bubbles. These are the same ones that are available at our YMCA where my kids take swim lessons. The quality is great. The kids have the confidence to swim more independently (not gripping my husband and I at all times) and I have confidence that they are safe. We use them at the beach and in the pool. I bought one for each of my children, age 3 and 4.

Cons: Not much, except the adjustable band could be slightly bigger to accomadate older children.

Unbelievable Product!
By Mary Ross from Jersey Shore, NJ on 6/15/2013
My son (2.5 yrs) was used to the stackable foam bubbles used at his swim lessons at the YMCA. During his lessons, he never let go of my hands, or jumped in the pool from his feet.
After one day with this bubble, he felt confident to let go and swim on his own. He can swim the whole length of the pool with confidence. I cannot believe how far he has come. We have only had the bubble for 2 weeks.
The summer has only just begun. I truly believe that this bubble will accelerate his swimming skills better than any other product.

Swim Bubble
By Mary from TN on 4/21/2013
I first found out about your product about 42 years ago in Florida. We were visiting and discovered the bubble for my 5 and 3 year old daughters. Then about two years after that we bought a house with a pool in the back yard. I started teaching swimming for 27 years using the bubble for the young children and the Red Cross instruction for older children. Every summer I would teach about 300 children. Since then I have taught my grandchildren. Recently a mother with 18 month twin boys wanted me to help her. I didn't want to give her my last bubbles because I was saving them for my great grandchildren, so I went on line and found yours..I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was to find them!!! Please keep on making the bubbles.

My 3 yr old niece loves the water and I take her for swimming lessons. I bought this so that we could practice between lessons and she loves it. She chases me back and forth the length of the YMCA pool, doing laps. Her swimming is really improving! Strongly recommend.

My 3 year old used something similar to this at the YMCA during his swim camp and I could find it in any store. I was so happy to find it on your website! It works great and gives my son mobility and he's challenged more than he would be using floaties.

Another Great "swimmy"
By N.Warter from Auburn,NY on 5/31/2012
Bought this one for my home pool for family or friends and it works great! My 4 yr old granddaughter that doesn't swim was less fearful of being in pool with it on and after a few hours of swim was doing well with it. Very supportive in keeping her up! Would recommend this too!

Swim Buoy
By Sharon C. from Randleman, NC on 9/13/2011
I got this swim bubble for my 5 year old grand-daughter. The resort we stayed at had lazy rivers and water slides and hot tubes and of course your regular pools. She had the time of her life. It gave her confidence, and gave us peace of mind. I would recommend everyone who has a young child who loves the water, but hasn't learned to swim yet to get the swim buoy.

Outstanding learn-to-swim aid!!!
By Ellen P. from Newton, MA on 8/25/2011
I've been using these swim bubbles for children 18mnths and up for over 30 years. Used properly, they encourage independent swimming at a very early age in a devopmentally appropriate manner. As muscles strengthen, air can be let out, and before long your toddler will be ready for the swim team!
