Very happy with the productAugust 30, 2008 My daughter has never been to any kind of swim class and we never even trained her to swim in the bathtub, but with this vest (she is 2 yo now) she feels extremely confident in water! She ventures into the deep and she can swim up to 40-60 feet into the sea and back. I thought I would be confined to stay on the shore with her all the time, but I can actually smim as I normally would independently, with her paddling along! (Granted I am not an Olympic swimmer, but I much prefer being able to swim than bulding sand castles). The vest is holding her afloat, and even when a wave splashes onto her face, she just shakes the water off, smiles and keeps on paddling. You should see the faces of other parents on the beach whose 7 year olds are afraid to walk into the sea farther than knee deep, when they see a chubby toddler, all dressed in pink, fearlessly entering the water and swimming towards her father waving to her 40 feet away. Everybody wants to know where I got the vest! And how she is enjoying it too! She invents her own little tricks, like spinning around or an "armchair" (floating in the "sitting" position with the tips of her toes sticking out of the water in front of her). I tought myself to spin in the water when I was, like, 12!
I can see she feels very secure in the vest, because she refuses to hold onto my fingers even when I offer!

by far the best life jacket out there. It is non constricting on my son, it's like having a wet suit on, not an astronaut suit on. i had a problem with the original one i received and their customer service sent a new one to me in 2 days, great company!
Great for learningMay 18, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love this product, we have been using this for over a month. It took some getting used to first couple times in the pool. The buoyancy is just where the chin is barely above the water.(Same as where the water naturally hits me while I am swimming.) If water is splashed my child often gets a face full of water, but this has taught him to close his mouth and hold his breath. Every time we go swimming I see improvements with my son's swimming recently he started leaning forward and propelling himself by kicking his feet behind him. Before he was just doggy paddling. I have yet to remove any of the inserts and decrease the buoyancy, so I can't comment regarding. But using the vest with all the inserts has been great for us.
Wonderful Product!April 5, 2007 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I bought this jacket for my grandson and think it is wonderful. It is soft and comfortable so he can wear it for hours. Also, it fits properly and does not ride up around his head like other jackets. I feel it is a great aid for a child to feel secure in the water as well as learn to swim. I highly recommend it.

This is the best swim jacket on the market. We tried several and this was by far the best. The removable floats allowed us to alter the kids buoyancy in the water as they gained confidence.
I would recommend this to anyone with kids learning to swim!
