The Swim School Character Freestyle
Trainer is definitely easy to use. First off - it
looks cute (more on that later) so your child won't have
a problem strapping in (with your help of course).
Then, when you slowly take your little one into the
water, they immediately feel supported and safe - which
is a big help as you work on the basics of swimming.
So you've got the kids in the
water, and you are getting them comfortable. Now
comes the best part for parents - and the true genius of
the design: as your child gets stronger in the
pool, you can remove as many floatable pads as you like.
The stronger they are at swimming, the more pads you
remove. If they need more support in the water,
leave more in! Easy as can be!
(As a reminder - never, ever leave a child
unattended in the pool. This is not a life-saving
device.) |

In and out of the water we saw no
durability issues with the Swim School Character
Freestyle Trainer. As with all pool toys we
recommend you hose off the chlorine with fresh water for
added life. |

Super cute for sure! The folks
at Aqua Leisure took a great idea, and made it extra kid
friendly by adding adorable characters. We'd even
recommend letting your little one pick out their
favorite as another way to get them excited about the
pool! |

The Swim Trainer will strap on to
your child and hold on tight. Then you get to add
and remove floating pads to provide more or less
buoyancy. Unlike regular floats, as your child
improves in the pool, you get to slowly remove floating
pads to keep them learning to swim and on the right
track, while keeping them feeling confident and safe in
their trainer. Excellent idea -and excellent
functionality! |

In a blind survey we priced the Swim
Trainer right around $20. With an actual retail
price ranging between $15 and $20 - Aqua Leisure pegged
it. Definitely a properly priced swim accessory. |

We've certainly seen a variety of
floats to help teach little ones to swim, but we've
never seen anything quite like the Character Swim
Trainer. It just seems so smart and so simple -
adjustable buoyancy levels. Well thought out and
well executed. A great improvement on a classic
swimming tool. |

It's funny - this is one of
those products that seems to provide as much comfort
and support for parents as it does for their kids!
The Character Swim Trainer is certainly easy to use
- and parents love being able to control the
buoyancy the trainer provides. They are made
to last, so that isn't a concern. They are
super-cute and priced fairly. But best of all,
from a functionality perspective, this just blows
away old-fashioned floating devices. If you
believe in training for the pool with a float, this
is the float you need! Awesome! |
