Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After reading many positive reviews, we purchased this for big 19 month old (26 lbs). He has used it daily from early June through present (late August); he is now almost 22 months, 30 lbs. the swim tee is just perfect. We used a auto repair station to have the tube inflated as had heard that novices sometimes over-inflate causing dangerous rupture as the tube is heavy-duty; after about a month and a half of use, we had the tube re-filled at gas station. At first baby had to learn to balance/control his body (this took two swim sessions). In a week he could twirl around, float on back, kick rapidly to get wherever he desires. The velcro/crotch strap stretched after a bit, so I saftey pinned it permanently and simply have the child step in, then we pull up the arms (after so much use, the arms have also stretched a bit, but so far this is no big deal.) We stay at least an arms length close to him, for if other children are around, they sometimes grab onto the baby/swim tee to use as a floatation device; this of course causes the baby in swim tee to go under. Also if others are making big waves, baby sometimes gulps water as he floats about. We used this at a vacation hotel for a month and everyone else had their babies in awkward life jackets or cheap plastic inflatables with big roofs/awnings/ attachments. Our little guy was joyfully swimming circles around the other babies his age and it was common to get many inquiries about where the swim tee could be purchased.Customer Review: My only complaint is I wish they made a bigger size!

My daughter has used a Swimline Swim Tee Trainer since she was 18 months old. She is a larger than average 3 year old (44 inches tall, 60 pounds), so this year she will not be able to wear the Swim Tee Trainer. I am very disappointed, but will continue to search for a similar product in her size.
The Swim Tee Trainer is wonderful! It keeps the child upright without limiting their mobility. I do not like the trainers that have the built in legs, as they hurt the crotch area as the child tries to swim or if someone tries to pick the child up or pull them through the water by their arms.
I am able to relax a bit in the pool while my daughter has this on. It is not something you can put on the child & leave the child unattended, but you do not have to hover like you do with the styrofoam vests.
You inflate the tube fully when the child first starts using it. As the child's swimming ability progresses, you can let some air out if you choose. One swim tee got us through 2 summers of almost daily use. After that, it finally gave and we had to purchase another.
Do not waste your money on other swim trainers. This really is the best one out there.
Customer Review: swim trainer

We purchased the tee trainer for our 3 year old grandson. Last year he had the swim sweater, which gave him confidence and taught him balance in the water. Him being a year older wanted another one for him. With this swim trainer he has really gained his confidence in the water and allows him to be self suficient in the water. He has learned to float with confidence. He is now swimming, of course not on his own yet. I would recommend this product for the older toddler. It also allows the child to have some freedom and not have to be held by an adult. Supervision is still required but the child gains a tremendous amount of confidence and allows them to overcome some of the fears of the water. our grandson swims everyday and enjoys his freedom in the water. We found it is also a safety for the toddler if there are a lot of people around. Our son who is now 28 years old also had the swim sweater when he was a toddler. He is a fantastic swimmer.Customer Review: Swim Tee Trainer

This is a great product. The seller was fantastic and got it out to me immediately. I have 4 children and this is the best product in helping a little one enjoy the water. As with all water products, it requires adult hands on to make the product safe. I usually tie the tee in the back for a tighter fit. The child feels like he can go anywhere on his own and you can ever so slowly remove air from the tube as their treading water skills increase. Children love it and it aids in giving a love of the water. I highly recommend this product is your family are water lovers and you want your young one to move in that same direction.Customer Review: Great product!

My 2 1/2 year old loves this. It has helped her to develop confidence in the water and lets her be a bit more independent in the pool. Children are a little off balance when first in this, but once they learn how to balance it is great fun for them. An adult still needs to be in the pool with the child but the child does not need to hang on to you for dear life. :-) My daughter loved that she was "swimming all by herself." I also liked that she will not slip out of this from the bottom.
