Best swimmer
My son is learning how to swim and has tried the puddle jumpers and gets angry If things are on his arm. This is the best because you can hold onto the back and it keeps them afloat very well

Somewhere between the baby float and the first real strokes there is a wobbly, wonderful stage. The Ultra Swim Trainer in Seafoam Blue Lemon is the gear we made for it.
- Soft UPF 50 vest fabric stretches to fit and protects skin from sun.
- Tube positioned high on the chest for stability and free arm movement.
- Strap seat adjusts for a secure fit around a busy toddler.
- Durable vinyl tube wears a fabric cover and seals with a no-leak valve.
- Easy to inflate, deflate and stash; recommended for ages 2 to 4.
In the water with it
Two-to-four-year-olds are the swimmers we had in mind. At that age comfort decides everything, so the vest section is a soft, stretchy UPF 50 fabric that feels like clothing and shields skin from UV rays. Underneath, a strap seat adjusts so the trainer stays put when your toddler wriggles, kicks or leans.
How it works in the water: the fabric-covered tube sits up on the chest, which steadies your child and frees the arms. Encourage them to tip forward and they are in a natural position for swim practice. Check our instruction video so the tube is fully inflated, and keep an adult within arm's reach every minute.
LEVEL2
Build Swim Skills
Level 2 starts with a sweater-fit tot trainer that goes on like a favorite top, then moves on to a swim trainer vest with Flex-Form foam and an adjustable safety strap. With that support around the chest, play turns into paddling without anyone calling it a lesson.
