Great for kids learning to swim
By BBARR from Illinois on 9/10/2020
Fit: NA
This is a great aid for kids who are learning to swim! It helps keep them afloat in a swimming position while they gain the strength and skill to swim correctly. We previously used puddle jumpers, which worked well to help keep their faces out of the water, but the puddle jumpers prevented them from being able to move their arms or lay out in a "swimming position," which prevented them from actually being able to learn to swim. This "Sporti Progressive Back Floatation Device" provides support while allowing them to learn to swim correctly.

Great for beginning swimmers

Fit: NA
This product is very helpful for beginning swimmers. It gives beginning swimmers confidence and allows them to use their arms freely. We couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Good product for kiddos

Fit: NA
This is a good product for kiddos who are learning how to swim. It provides some floating but also allows children to practice swimming techniques.

Best way to teach how to swim
By Chris from South Carolina on 7/13/2020
Fit: NA
I am an swim instructor and these are by far the best devices to teach children how to swim! It lets them learn at a good rate but also at their own pace.

Great quality
By GRAM from Charlotte on 6/21/2020
Fit: NA
My grandkids have not yet been able to use the item but I did see it in person. And it looks like it is going to be so good to use because as they advance you can take the different levels off. You go from four blocks down to none

Perfect!
By Jschu from Ohio on 8/31/2019
Fit: NA
Just what my 4 yr old daughter needed to gain confidence in the water. She has the freedom of being about to use her arms unlike other floatation devices and she is able practice everything she learned in her swim lessons.

Great product
By Swim mom from SC on 7/30/2019
This is a great product for children learning to swim. It gives them freedom to move their arms while giving them just enough support to stay above the water. As the child gets stronger you can remove the foam floats. It’s a great product! It was recommended to me by my twins swim coach when they started swim lessons 4 years ago. I just purchased a new one for my three year old.

Comfortable life jacket for a toddler
By Nana from Florida on 7/19/2019
Parent approved for it's USCG rating. Toddler approved for the color purple, the cute giraffe & ease of movement. Everyone is happy with this puddle jumper that is great in the pool or on a boat. Very easy to put on. The baby hated the life vests with the crotch straps, so this is a huge improvement in comfort for her.

Perfect teaching tool
By Mermom from Bristol, CT on 8/11/2018
Within 30 minutes my water-timid 6YO daughter was swimming independently! After a week camping and spending most time in the pool, she gained enough confidence to swim across and around the deep end freely, and has started swimming “underwater” (putting her face down while she paddles)! Meanwhile 3YO sister took to it just as well if not better, minus the underwater efforts. I have 2 little mermaids 🧜♀️ I can not recommend this product highly enough for learning swimmers!

Amazing for timid kids learning to swim!!
By Happy mommy from Bloomington, IL on 8/9/2018
Love it!! We received ours in late July and in less than 2 weeks, my daughter has transitioned down to 1 level of flotation. Tonight she actually let me take it off and she swam independently quite a bit!! She is newly 4 and has been taking swimming lessons for a year but has been super afraid anytime the instructor tries to let go of her. This helped her gradually transition to no help and gave her the confidence she has been lacking.

Solid bubble
By Matt Smith from Georgetown, MA on 7/27/2018
My kids loved the multi colors and the marine life pictures on the bubble. They can come slightly loose as they are worn but by no means are they falling off or getting too loose. This is a very good product. I bought 3.

Floatation Devis

This is what I am looking for!
By tj from Austin, TX on 7/18/2018
I used similar device (plain white foam though) when I was trained as a child on competitive swim team. These are great for children who need some flotation support to swim independently and/or to refine their techniques. I used them to help my children (already comfortable in water, able to float) refine her techniques. They give them support to avoid too much fatigue but not limit the range of movement of the arms and legs. Great quality and price. The size and colors are perfect. My children loves them.

Great For Learning To Swim
By Doug in VA from Christiansburg, VA on 7/14/2018
Our 5 year old was struggling to learn how to swim using his Puddle Jumper as it would not let his back to come up flat. Put this on him and within two weeks he was swimming on his own without it! I highly recommend this for emerging swimmers!

Great Aid for Teaching
By Geri from Land O Lakes, FL on 7/10/2018
I love using this when I teach young ones (3+) to swim. This is especially important when I don't have water that is shallow enough for them to stand.

Great floatation Device
By Joy from asheville, nc on 6/5/2018
We used this device on my 3 year old grandson to help him get around in the pool during vacation so he would not wear everyone out holding on to him. Worked great, gave him confidence and was perfect for our needs, Nice color, lightweight and compact. Fit really well and stayed where it was suppose to without riding up.

Perfect for teaching young ones to swim
By Product review from Greenville, SC on 6/2/2018
My daughter is 5 years old and currently weights 47 Lbs. and holds her up great. She takes swim lessons at the Y. This back floatation is very similar to the one at the Y and is perfect for at home! Her confidence soars from wearing this and allows her to practice the movements she learned from level 1 swim lessons. I love the price. After 5 lessons and 2 days at home practicing she was swimming short distance w/o this device. We took out some pads so she can practice with longer distance with assistance. Im able to swim next to her. She loves it!!!

Back Floatation Device
By Connie from Muhlenberg, PA on 5/7/2018
This was the best buy. I have children that cried whenever they were in the pool during lessons. Since I purchased this item I have not had any criers. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I have been teaching for over 20 years.

Great tool for teaching
By Maria from Seattle, WA on 4/26/2018
This has been a great tool for our 3yo to become comfortable in the water, learning kicks, and strokes. It can be adjusted as they need less buoyancy and keeps their arms free to actually learn how to swim.
Colors were different than in picture.

Great for older kids
By Momma from West Virginia on 8/2/2017
This was recommended to me by a swimming instructor. My 7 year old had a few lessons and then we bought this after her recommendation. This is great for kids who already can float but need that extra help. The "blocks" come off one by one as the child needs less help.

Sporti Progressive Back Fliatation Device
By MTTrug from Bronx NYC on 7/24/2017
My 4 year old granddaughter used a device like this while taking swimming classes at Swim Tank in W Harrison NY this past year, so I purchased this for the summer for her to keep practicing at home in my pool. She was confident in it and kept up her lessons. This is better than the one she used because it has the four layers that can be removed one at a time as they develope their skills and become stronger swimmers. She was also taught how to get out of the pool by pulling themselves out, but the swim vests for children are cumbersome and restrict the child from doing this. If they fall in and are not near a ladder, they can climb out anywhere.

Adjustable buoyancy
By Nana from Pennsylvania on 5/3/2017
I like that this product is adjustable to provide just the right amount of support.
My granddaughter is swimming a few strokes and needs help keeping afloat. She does well under water; now she should master staying on top.

grandkids love these and so do parents
By Grammie from Leesburg, Florida on 3/12/2017
Purchased two of these, one for 23 month old and one for 3 year old so they could enjoy our pool when they visited in Florida. At first, both parents wanted to be in pool with girls and even then were very nervous about girls being in the pool. After 4 days of swimming with the vests on, the parents were comfortably able to sit on edge of pool as the girls swam and played in perfect safety with their vests on. Both girls learned very quickly to lie on their stomachs and kick their legs behind them as their vest held them above water.

Back Floatation Device
By Mom-Mom J. from Hamilton, NJ on 2/22/2017
This floatation device was purchased for my grandson. He is 4-1/2 years old and is taking swimming lessons. With the help of an adult the device is put around him and he feels confident as the instructor tells him to do swimming on his back or stomach depending on how the device is strapped on him. It is a great product.

Great product
By Cruising Nana from Fort Washington, MD on 10/3/2016
These puddle jumpers were purchased for a pair of small 3 yr olds. Although we had to pull the attachment straps as tight as possible, they still fit great and the girls were extremely comfortable in them. They worked exactly as advertised. I would recommend this for anyone that has small children who can't swim yet or are learning.

Such a great option for children's lifejackets!
By What a fabulous invention for kids! from Lake of the Ozarks, MO on 8/15/2016
Worked great to keep my 15 month old grandson above water while jumping off our lake swim dock into his Mom's arms. He really disliked wearing a life jacket but had no complaints with this Puddle Jumper.

Works Great
By Grandma from Denver, CO on 8/11/2016
I bought this for my grandson to use in the baby pool near us. He is almost 2 and has never used any kind of floatation device before. When he slipped in the water or lifted his feet the float kept him on his back face up. After 2 days with it he was on his stomach and kicking and "swimming". He also learned to lay back and lift his toes out of the water and balance. Easy to put on and my grandson never objected to wearing it. Great float! I highly recommend it. Extremely satisfied.
