Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Comment: This product is wonderful for teaching children how to swim. They can't use their arms when they are using arm floaties so they don't learn to swim as quickly. My daughter(6) and step-son(7) both learned how to swim in a couple of days with this swim belt. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for little swimmers Comment: This belt is great for little ones just learning to swim. It keeps them in an aligned position in the water, rather than just bobbing straight up like a life jacket or water wings. This is the same product that the YMCA uses in their swimming lessons. Customer Rating: Summary: Swim belt purchase Comment: I am pleased with the swim belt which I recently purchased. It is much more comfortable to wear than the belts that are used in my water aerobics class at my local community center. I also like the belt because it can fit compactly in my luggage for travel so I can continue my exercise on vacation. The only criticism that I have of it is that sometimes the belt which connects the flotation blocks gets twisted a bit and that causes one of the blocks to be turned the wrong way, thus offering a bit of resistance in the water. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for young and old Comment: We love the belt it has really helped our son with swimming on his own and help with balance. Every parent in swim class has now bought one, it is better than anything that they had at the Y to borrow. Our friend used it in the ocean on vacation.
Good for any age kid or adult. My son this a skinny 2 year old and it stays on with a shirt under it. Customer Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT product for price.... Comment: I just purchased both the three and four module swimbelts to have around camp when we have company. We are expecting a 77 year old aunt and a 10 year old granddaughter in a few weeks and these will be excellent to make lake swimming more comfortable for them. I tried the 3 module and it held me up nicely (well over 160 pounds). I would like to see a stretchy belt that would help the modules stay put better.
Although my husband and I both are used to swimming in the lake, we both use a better version of the spongex belt that is one piece. We both can swim but lack the stamina that we had when we were younger. The belts that we use have stretchy belts and one piece of spongex that wraps around your back (or front if you desire). These are more comfortable and stay in place but they were more than THREE times the price.
All in all these cubed belts are a great swimming aid and can work well for adults and kids that need a bit more "security" or are learing to swim. At this price, they are definitely worth a try to see if they work for you.
