My children used this product in the pool. I liked it better then a life jacket because it didn’t make them feel so uncomfortable in the pool.

We liked these for starting to get the littles into the water they also gave some comfort to us as we had 4 in the water at one time most pool days but they are not meant to be used as a safety device and do not help with learning to swim so they are used sparingly but I would still buy it with so many kids swimming at once until they are all comfortable in the water.

My little one is not a strong swimmer, yet. He has been using the puddle jumper since 2 years old -- he is 4 years old now and still uses the puddle jumper any time we enter a pool. It has held up for 3 years and counting now and is my son's preferred floatie when swimming.
