Hi friends, I need to swim, buoyancy aid?, thanks a lot!

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!

Waterfi fuelbands definitely are. For the regular ones I suppose that Nike can answer this. I heard that you can wear them while swimming but not use them for diving.

I've never tried while swimming but I would think it would be fine. The only time I lose it is when I'm doing push-ups or burpees.

I don't see how these pants can help you improve floating. That should be more about technique that you can consult with a swimming coach ;-) !!

you need the water. Otherwise you just roll down. Also, the bottom of the pool in not padded at all so you want the water in there to soften the landing!

I didn't do any diving since I was too nervous to do that, but you can control exactly how much air is in it at anytime allowing you to customize your buoyancy. I had it fully blown up and didn't change it. At that level it would have been difficult to dive.

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

I'm not real sure go to swim ways baby and they should be able to tell you. Glad you teaching you child about water but very important to be safe.

Pamela, In the same manner that a life preserver would keep you afloat, this belt would also keep you afloat. It is intended to be used when doing aqua aerobic type exercises. If your goal is to do aqua aerobic exercises (i.e. float on your stomach or your back while kicking your legs or doing arm exercises), this would be a good piece of equipment for you. Have a good weekend. Sincerely, Roy Lazarus Trivillage.com

As far as I know if your are submerged in the water, the inflated life vest should support you. I disconnected the automatic inflation feature and depend upon the manual lanyard to inflate it. I use this in my airplane, and in the event of a water landing, don't want it to inflate until we are clear of the cockpit.

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.

You can swim~ as long as your head don't go into water , that is . This is sweat proof , nope waterproof

Not recommended for swimming with. Doing well on a rain. I was on motorcycle with him on my back, my MSI stayed dry together with rest of the things in it. And it was raining fine.

My pool is a little over 4 feet and I'm able to use the set very well. I'm 5'6" so I have room for buoyancy, if your like 6' might not be deep enough. I get a good workout, can't wait til summer to get back into the water.

Go with the four step ladder. For older swimmers it provides a much easier egress. Ideally you want at least two full steps below the water line, but three is much better. Also, BUY stainless steel bolts and nuts, they include JUNK, and incorrectly assumed they were stainless, and mine have aready deteriorated and need to be replaced. Salt environment they lasted two months. Ladder itself is great.

It would depend on how much buoyancy you need. 3 is fine for my son and he is a big 2 1/2 year old. I would recommend the 3 as I think 4 is overkill but I have only used the 3 and 2 personally! Hope this helps!However it might be helpful if you need to support more weight or to use on a small child to keep them positioned higher in the water. I am not a swim instructor, just my experiences and points of view.

Practice. The diagram that comes with them is exactly how to do it, but it's not very explanatory. It took a swim session or two to practice, but I can get it almost every time now.
