Awesome!
By Kat from Stroudsburg, Pa on 8/31/2020
Fit: NA
The whistle came really quick and included it’s own lanyard. It is very loud and easy to blow into! The only thing I would change is that the rubber part came off slightly after a day of using it. Still a really good whistle!

LOUD!!!!
By Sandra from Winnipeg, MB on 8/26/2020
Fit: NA
Has smooth edges so can be worn over wetsuit. Easy to adjust length of lanyard. Bright (green) color so is easy to locate when getting ready for a swim.
I have been learning how to swim for over 6 years (72 years old started with "Terrified of Water" classes). I just started open water swimming. I need this additional security of being able to get help if needed. I do believe that it is possible that I could drown.

I feel I paid too much for this product
By Joe from Chicago from Niles, Illinois on 8/20/2020
Fit: NA
Since purchasing this product I have received several advertisements from different companies advertising similar product for less than half of what I paid at Swim Outlet. I feel I was taken advantage of, with Swim Outlet pricing.

buckles too difficult to open
By Avid Swimmer from Philadelphia, PA on 8/4/2020
Fit: NA
I know my heading sounds pathetic, but I purchased this for my older mother, who was widowed a few years ago and hasn't used her pool since; I believe that she is worried about slipping with nobody there to help her. We agreed that this vest would be a good product for her, but she cannot get the plastic clasps open, they are just too stiff. So even if I undo it for her, and closing them is easy (you just push the one piece into the other), when she's alone, she won't be able to get it off! I realize that you want the vest not to burst open if, e.g. you are wearing it for water skiing and want it to withstand the impact of falling in the water, but this is really too stiff. Very disappointed, it seems like a good product otherwise (ps, yes, I also bought her water shoes which we've given a 5-star rating to).

Great quality
By Sacha from Olympia, WA on 4/8/2020
Fit: TRUE
Soft, the buckles are on the side, form fitting and stylish. Plan on wearing it paddle boarding in the ocean. Plenty of range of motion with arms. Wife loves it.

Inexpensive but not comfortable.
By MJT from Indianapolis, IN on 3/13/2020
Fit: NA
This vest is buoyant. However, it is also uncomfortable and pushes your head up so high that snorkeling horizontally with it on is very difficult. I found it greatly increased the effort of swimming and correspondingly decreased my enjoyment. I'd wear this only if nothing else was available. Inflation is a bit of a pain as well. It does pack quite flat. I wouldn't buy it again.

Very nice jacket but...
By Sue from Maui on 12/29/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
This jacket is very nice with details like a flap to cover the zipper, a ring to hang it up and tabs to pull it down should it start to ride up. The colour and style are also great. The sizing online is off however, so if you are considering purchasing one, be aware that no accurate size chart is available on the website. I ordered a women’s small after looking at the chart and confirming with the live chat that it is correct for a 37” chest. Nope. It arrived with a big tag clearly showing that women’s small is for a 32-34”chest. Not happy to pay shipping to Hawaii then have another shipping deduction if I return it.

Outstaning Product
By Buck from Tampa Bay, FL Area on 11/11/2019
Fit: NA
This whistle can be used in multiple sports,more than just Lifeguards. The color. Pink is used by numerous sports officials around the world in dedication to find a cure for Cancer. This whistle is strong in shape and sound. The Whistle is cushioned to make it more comfortable and durable. Great to see a strong lanyard that can be used with the whistle if needed.

holds the weight
By Stacy from FL on 9/12/2019
Fit: TRUE
I like the way this vest wraps the body. The only thing that I see now that I own it is that I wish it had something to help keep the head above water. But that may not be possible by design. I am very happy that it is not bulky.

Exactly what I wanted 👌🏻
By Ady from Lynn, MA on 8/8/2019
Im a lifeguard at a water park and a couple of my coworkers had this whistle and I noticed it was pretty loud so I decided to buy one myself and I’m pretty impressed, i only spend 10 dollars, the only thing that I didn’t like was that the app would not tell me see where exactly it was while it was shipped but I got it on time so I’m pretty happy

Works great!
By Gwen K from Goodyear, AZ on 7/9/2019
Directions are clearly Oates on all labeling. Fits well and is adjustable. Gives the kids a bit more confidence to get out there and learn to swim without sinking.

Master's swimmer -- Keeps water out of my ears and I can still hear the coach!
By swim girl from TUCSON, AZ on 6/14/2019
Fit: TRUE
I've been using these for Master's swimming in a pool for about 8-9 years now and realized I never wrote a review. I use these every time I swim laps. Before I started using these I would have water in my ears all day (I breathe on both sides) and would be shaking my head and the water finally by gone by night, and then I would jump in the pool the next morning and start the cycle again. These just work perfectly. They keep the water out of my ears.
When my head comes up, I press on the center to release the one water drop that always forms there, and then I can hear my coach and teammates perfectly as if I didn't have earplugs in. Also, they don't fall out, even when the swim cap comes up and my ears are exposed. Sometimes the leash breaks off and then I just throw the leash away and I don't really miss it, I don't think it's necessary for pool swimming. When my workout is done I just tuck them inside my swim cap with my goggles so I never rinse off the chlorine.
After swimming in chlorine pools for several months/almost a year, they start to degrade (they get really soft, and then eventually they no longer fit in my ears properly) so I always keep these on hand and replace as needed. I think I use on average 1 pair a year.
It seems a lot of people have trouble with the sizing, I'm a 39-year-old 5'8'' 140-lb woman (I have no idea what affects ear size though) and I've been using a size Medium since I started using these 8-9 years ago in my early 30s at closer to 130 lb. I first bought a pair at a local swim shop, so I was able to hold up the back of the box with the size chart on it to my ear, and check the chart with the help of the salesperson. Hope that helps, maybe just buy a pair and try it! I guess I'm writing such an enthusiastic review because I want these to sell so they are always in stock, because like I said I don't swim laps without these any more!

PERFECT for my just turned 2 year old!!
By KJ from Kentucky on 6/24/2018
My 27lb daughter used this and could float on belly and back, jump in, go down slides etc. She would TRY to go underwater with her head and it would NOT let her! LOVE it and highly recommend it!

Nice quality
By Beth from Harrisburg , Pa. on 6/10/2018
The body glove paddle pals swim vest in the mermaid design fits my 26 pound granddaughter .I liked the vest design because it will protect her shoulders from the sun and I also thought it would fit better then the paddle pals without the shoulder coverage since she is under the 30 to 50 pound weight recommendation.. I didn't realize that the mermaid design is actually more a vinyl reflective applique that makes the eyes wink. It is cute but would have personally preferred it was just a part of the printed pattern on vest. I am overall pleased with this product.

Nice product and good value
By Denny from Clyde, North Carolina on 6/2/2018
Fit: TRUE
I purchased 4 of these for a recent trip to Hawaii. We like having our own equipment...particularly anything the operators are suppose to sanitize! My daughter and son-in-law (age 26) don’t really like wearing them but lots of snorkel and kayak operators require vests so I purchased one for each of us. My son -in -law is a big guy (6’3” and about 280 lbs) so when they arrived I bought some matching webbing at JoAnn Fabrics and sewed on 18” extensions to his straps. We all tried them on to get them fitted before our first snorkel and trimmed the excess off our straps. My husband is 180 and about 5’8” and his straps had to be trimmed. When it was time to go in, we all put them on and were ready to go. They all inflated and deflated well. We only use them a few times a year so these are perfect for us. Easy to pack and we now have all of our own gear. I also purchased the floating swim fins since the price was so reasonable. I’ll also do a review on them. Overall, very pleased with the purchase and the few minutes it took me to do the extensions was worth the effort for about $1.50 more.

Vest is good, but not the color shown.
By LT130TH from TX on 2/5/2018
Fit: TRUE
Ordered the powder-pink & white vest pictured on the website, but the vest received is the dark pink & purple version. Customer service tried to help by checking with the warehouse & shipping a second one, however, the second vest I received was the same as the first. Aside from not getting the color I ordered, the vest is the same & will still do the job.

Thanks for helping a cause to support Basketball Referees "Calling for a Cure"
By Buck from Saint Petersburg, FL USA on 1/18/2018
The SwimOutlet covers more than just swimming. I am a Basketball Referee in St. Petersburg, FL and we were in the need of getting Pink Whistles to show our support for fighting cancer. We could only use the whistles for 1 month. Swim Outlet got us the Whistles overnighted. The customer service and tracking was great. How about the price? Very, very competitive. They blew out the best price from other venders. I have found a new provider for whistles and even more products !!! Thanks Guys !!!!!!!

Wish I had this whistle a year ago !
By Man from 10,000 lakes from Saint Paul, MN on 12/19/2017
Bought whistles for my 2 sons to wear at Macau beach in Punta Cana, RD.
Last year with a life guard on duty, I as a 61 year old came very close to drowning from undertows, had no whistle. Wife & sons returning to RD very soon, as for me I'm never going into the ocean again.

Very, Very Shrill
By Hank from N. Carolina on 12/5/2017
Just what I wanted and needed. No, I'm not a lifeguard but I do walk my dog at night in a remote rural area where there can be bears and coyotes. I'm sure I can attract attention with this whistle.

Great design
By randy from Orange County on 8/28/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
I think they work better than any others I have tried. I think I shoould have gotten the next larger size, as they don't keep all water out, and I think that is due to the size chart being awkward to use. Using the chart, it seemed Large was the size, but having usedthem, I think XL would have been better.
