Another customer rates this product poorly because it positions the child face down if they use it to learn to swim. As a swim school owner I can comment that the only way to properly swim is with the head down in the water. This is one of the main concepts of the Red Cross swim method and the Total Immersion swim method. So the Aqua Jogger Junior is positioning the child correctly but AN ADULT MUST ALWAYS BE PRESENT TO ASSIST THE CHILD WITH LIFTING OR TURNING THE HEAD TO BREATHE. "Floaties" on the other hand don't teach children to swim but to navigate around with the head up which doesn't work to teach proper swimming technique. The Aqua Jogger Junior should never be used as a lifesaving or water safety device (and "floaties" should not either as I have seen kids jump in and have "floaties" fall off more than once). Other products that properly position children to learn to swim (with an adult by their side) are Zoggs back floats and Water Gear back floats which have progressively removable layers of floatation.

Great Jul 21, 2010
By mooommm My son has Down Syndrome and can only swim with assistance. We went on vacation with this belt and did not have to worry about him once. He went from pool to ocean and back again. It held him up just fine. No face in the water issues. It was the most valued piece of swim equipment that we brought on our trip.

The best teaching tool ever! May 13, 2008
By S. Cesario

This product forces a child to move their arms and legs to stay upright...therefore teaching them to swim all on its own. I took this on vacation for my 3 1/2 year old son and by the second day he was jumping off the side, going under and swimming to the other side of the pool with only this to help him. It gets an A+ from me. He felt very secure and I felt okay letting him be independent. It is not a life saving device, but it is definitely a "lifesaver" in my book.

Excellent for 3y and up! Aug 20, 2009
By etak We used one of these at a friend's pool and knew instantly that we had to have one! My daughter is barely 3 and quite petite and this has worked out perfectly. It doesn't ride up around her neck the way life jackets do. She is able to freely move her arms and legs to learn the motions of swimming and she loves the independence this gives her in the water. I love it too because now there is no one hanging around my neck while I'm trying to enjoy the water. This keeps her shoulders/head above water but if she jumps off the side she will go all the way under. This also allows her to flip onto her back and then again to her belly so she's gaining a lot of confidence. Can't say enough good about this product!

Allows kids to swim more freely Jun 15, 2008
By C. Allison I bought 2 of these for my daughters last summer they were 7 and 3. They both loved them! They position the kids to swim on there tummy but do not force the face in the water. My kids by the end of the summer were starting to swim on there own a little. This product also allows kids to move more freely and is not so cumbersome. My niece and nephew also borrowed them (they were 2 and 3) and they bought 2 this summer. As always kids need direct supervision while in the water with or without flotation devices.
