Best baby floating device
I love this as I used it for my 3 month old and it is something he can use again this summer as a 10 month old. Very safe and he loved laying in it, seemed comfortable for him. Very easy to use is a huge bonus also!!
SwimSchool Freestyle Swimmer Baby Pool Float, Red-White-Blue Nautical

Price checked 2026-10-05; our partner store sets the final price and it can change.
The Freestyle Swimmer is our float for babies who would rather move than sit. Its seat shifts between a forward position and a relaxed seated one, and the red-white-blue nautical print looks right at home poolside.
- Forward position encourages active play and early breaststroke-style arm and hand movement.
- Seated position suits quiet floating and gentle backstroke-style arm motions.
- Soft fabric vest harness replaces the hard plastic seat babies tend to dislike.
- Built 20 percent wider and 30 percent longer than other free-swimming baby floats.
- Measures 27 inches when inflated; fill it completely for the best stability.
In the water with it
We designed it for ages 6 to 24 months. Instead of a stiff plastic seat, your baby wears a soft fabric vest-style harness that holds them comfortably in the float. The body is 20 percent wider and 30 percent longer than other free-swimming baby floats, and it uses dual air chambers, so inflate it fully before every swim.
Set the seat forward for active play, when arms reach out in little breaststroke motions. Switch to the seated position for calm floating and backstroke-style arm sweeps. Open splash areas on either side leave room for hands to slap the water or chase a pool toy. As always, an adult stays in the water, within arm's reach.
LEVEL1
Start Swim Skills
Level 1 is about introducing baby to water and nothing more ambitious than that. You relax, they relax, and the pool becomes a place you both enjoy.

Great floatie, no canopy
A great floatie for a great price. Super secure. I would love to purchase the canopy attachment to keep the sun away from the baby
