Product Description

Gives the children the confidence to learn to swim and the parentthe control to keep them safe. Nine (hidden from child sight), removable flotation pads. Easy adjustable design provides a comfortable, soft, and secure fit. Easy for parent to put on and take off, extra security measures keep child from removing SWIMR by themselves.
Endorsed by three-time Olympic gold medalist Josh Davis as "the best way to learn to swim," this is an ingenious system designed for 2-to-3-year-olds who weigh between 20 and 35 pounds. Under adult supervision, youngsters sandwich themselves between two yellow foam plates that feature Velcro shoulder straps and slide toggles for adjustable fit. The ingenuity is in the composition of those foam plates: They're each composed of nine slices of foam. As a child's swimming skills increase with time, these float pads can be removed one by one; soon kids will be dog-paddling with the best of 'em--and all by themselves! If it's not a perfect substitute for swimming lessons from a qualified instructor, the Safe T. Seal Little Swimr Swim Trainer does provide a wonderful way for kids to gain confidence in the water. --Tony Mason

Great product, fatally flawed
Review date: 2005-10-19 Rating: 6 out of 10

My two year old daughter swims on her own easily with this and is confident that she will not go under. It has held up well except for one problem. The strap that goes between the child's legs and connects the two pads, preventiing the vest from slipping up over the head (strap conveniently not pictured above) chafes the skin badly. The vest came with an add-on fix of a grey piece of foam, which is easily lost.

The two pads should be connected with a swimsuit type liner that disperses the force and does not chafe. I'd buy another one no problem if that one improvement were made.

Poorly Made and Possibly Dangerous!

This swim trainer is a good idea; however, the straps tore the first day. Could have been very dangerous if I wasn't right there in the water with my child. I attempted to repair them, but I just don't trust that they won't rip again. I believe there was another reviewer who said the straps did not hold; therefore, I don't think it was a fluke that this happened. I do not recommend this product!

Great Product

Last summer my daughter had one of these trainers and worked miracles on her. She was too nervous and shy at regular group swimming lessons so we were trying everything to make her comfortable in the water. By the end of the summer, she was two and a half years old and was very confident and happy in the pool. As she built more confidence, we would secretly take out more of the foam inserts. Eventually, she was swimming with just the empty vest, no inserts!! The way that she was gradually having to do more and more of the work was what really worked for her. I'll buy another for my other daughter when she's older.

Excellent product for small children
Review date: 2005-08-03 Rating: 10 out of 10

This floatie works great for smaller children who cannot yet fit into the standard vests. It has allowed my child to float in the pool and tread water. It is a great first step towards swimming and fits really well because it can be adjusted. The strap between the legs does not allow the float to ride up around the neck which is good.

Dangerous
Review date: 2005-07-25 Rating: 2 out of 10

Although initially our 2 year old was doing pretty well with this in the pool, after an hour, one of the strap came off and the other one was close to ripping off as well. I'm sure that if this would not have happened, I would highly recommend this device to assist in teaching children to balance themselves in water and begin swimming, but unfortuantely, this is a major health hazard and they should be recalled. I advise all parent who have purchased this to inspect it thoroughly and of course, not leave your child alone in the water for even the briefest moment. Perhaps this one was a fluke but nonetheless, I intend to contact the manufacture and file a complaint.
