[5 stars] awesome purchase by cathy from peabody, ma on 6/4/2020
been looking for one of these for awhile for my granddaughter, My son learned how to swim years ago with the bubble.. directions on the package very helpful Dislike Like Was this review helpful? [5 stars] exceeded expectations by Debmed13 from Montevallo, AL on 5/27/2020
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 Dislike Like Was this review helpful? [5 stars] This bubble is perfect!!!!!! by Ashley from Texas on 3/21/2020
[5 stars] 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. Dislike Like 7 of 7 found this helpful [5 stars] 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.

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. Dislike Like 2 of 3 found this helpful [5 stars] 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!

I weigh 125 lb and I can float wonderfully with the swim buoy, however, I had to make the belt larger for an adult's waist. I love it! Dislike Like 2 of 2 found this helpful [5 stars] 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!

Great product!!!! The most fun my kids ever had... they think it is a rocket pack..
Last comment: I think she wants her child to learn how to float not to swim. Dislike Like 2 of 2 found this helpful [4 stars] 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.

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! Dislike Like 1 of 3 found this helpful [5 stars] bubble by paula p. from hamilton, MA on 10/21/2013
this was adorable and now my son will be able to deflate the bubble at his own rate. The speedy delivery was incredible, I was able to have it before my next lesson! Dislike Like 1 of 1 found this helpful
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! Dislike Like Was this review helpful? [3 stars] Looks good! by Swimmer from Providence, RI on 9/24/2019

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.

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. Dislike Like Was this review helpful? [5 stars] Awesome by Happy mom from Keller,TX on 7/17/2017

My 1 and 3 year old granddaughters take swim lessons at the Y pool. They use this product there. I bought these for them to take on vacation. Great learning aid for beginners!
*****By K from San Diego, CA on 8/2/2013 My biggest problem was having my little one (2 year old) sit still for long enough to get the floaties on him, and without a meltdown. This is product was my answer.
*****5 stars Great product! By Kim O. from Maryville, IL on 7/23/2013 My granddaughter loved it! It held her up great and the pattern choices are really nice.
****4 stars Swim Buoy Inflatable Swim Bubble By Elaine K. from CT on 7/18/2013 Bought for my grandaughter. Pros: She has the confidence with the bubble to be in the water over her head. No intrusive arm bands or life jacket to inpede learning how to swim. Able to use proper swimming technique as bubble hold her in correct position in the water. Cons: Not much, except the adjustable band could be slightly bigger to accomadate older children.
*****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.
*****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. 5 stars awsome
*****By Ange from Cooperstown on 3/20/2013 This worked great for my four year old. The other things we have tried rubbed on his sides and gave him a rash. This stays and no rash! Love it. 3 stars Love the idea, wish the straps adjusted bigger
*****By Mami JK from Philadelphia, PA on 2/11/2013 I bought each of my twins a swim bubble before leaving for our vacation to Mexico. My boys are 8 and thin for their age. This was the only swim bubble I could find on the internet that said it was suitable for up to 100 lbs. Both my boys are less than 60 lbs. and the strap adjusted, but even on the biggest size, it was extremely tight and the boys could not wear them very long. If your kids are under 50 lbs., they might work a lot better. I love the idea of these, my boys had used similar ones at the YMCA when they were younger; I just wish she would have adjusted to a larger size. I don''t know that they will be able to use them very long, so while they are okay for up to 100 lbs., I think they''d be way too small for anyone of that weight. The patterns are fun and cute (we got the monkeys and whales) and the product is durable. 5 stars Awesome
*****By Janet from Herndon,VA on 2/3/2013 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. 5 stars It''s great!
*****By Terri from Pocomoke, MD on 9/4/2012 My three year old grandson is so very close to being able to swim alone, the swim bubble is going to make it happen. 5 stars Great product!
*****By Jmc from Lakeland fl on 8/24/2012 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. 5 stars Swim buoy works for adults

Would recommend this too! 5 stars Magic Learn to swim back football!
*****By Ally from Philadelphia, PA on 4/27/2012 We bought this for our 3 y/o son's swimming lessons. It has really helped him "swim" in the right positions! 5 stars 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.
