Has anyone used those swimming costumes with flotation in (it's for dd, I have plenty of natural flotation)

[Surfermum]

Someone gave me loads of advice on another thread about teaching dd (2.8) to swim but I can't find the thread!

I want to start getting dd to do some proper strokes now and I think her arm bands are getting in the way a bit, even if I take some air out of them. There was another child at the pool the other day with a costume with flotation in the back. Has anyone used them? Are they any good?

we used a BOBIN that was deffo brill for ds

gradually took out the floats without him noticing

and then he was swimming

kept him warm too cos it is neoproperlene

here you go we were very impressed

here you go give it a try

Polyotter Bobin Jacket (Polyotter Bobin)
Zoggs Buoyancy Bobin A children's and babies swimming jacket
BOBIN is a super smart Neoprene jacket with concealed pockets in the front and back incorporating adjustable puncture-proof foam inserts, providing the same adjustable buoyancy as the Float-Suit.

Chunky front zip makes it easy to put on and take off, and it can be worn over normal swimwear.

New Colours Available!!

Purple/Pink
Orange/Royal
Aqua/Royal
Royal/Red

Bobin is the original buoyancy jacket, the puncture-proof floats are removable to adjust the buoyancy as water confidence increases. Made from high quality Neoprene (often used in 'wet-suits'), the Bobin also assists in keeping children warm in the water. The jacket style fit means the child's arms and legs are free to move and allow the development of natural swimming strokes.
If you are looking for an adults or teenagers swimming jacket please see the Adults Konfidence jacket as shown below.
