SwimFin is the modern day new swimming aid, tried and tested to assist children in learning to swim. This buoyancy aid complies to international safety regulations EN 13138 & EN 71 and works in more than one particular way.
Unlike armbands, discs, life vests, noodles etc, SwimFin is streamlined and there is no need to inflate, deflate add or remove additional support.
SwimFin is the first truly new development in swimming aid for decades. Worn on the back, it does not hamper or restrict the ability to move in the water. SwimFin is a flotation device that provides as much buoyancy as the swim needs while helping to maintain a good position in the water. Other instruction aids tend to tip the swimmer forward or upright, resulting in a swimming position that impedes movement through the water, and actually makes swimming more difficult.
SwimFin on the other hand gives only the support needed, giving the user the feel of independence and thus encouragement and motivation. With SwimFin, the lower you are in the water the more support it will give you, as with the beginner swimmer. The higher you are in the water the less support it will give you, as with an improved swimmer. SwimFin compensates for different abilities.
Since the arrival of SwimFin onto the market in 2008 it has become a trusted overnight success with local authorities, leisure management companies, swim schools, private health clubs, primary schools, and not to mention the thousands and thousands of children and parents.
SwimFin is now becoming a market leader in swimming aids and has developed a brand name in its own right. Children seem to forget about learning to swim. It’s more FUN when using SwimFin. They just think they’re a shark, a fish, a dolphin or a whale.
Tests prove that children are now picking up this life saving skill in a fraction of the time that it would take by using the old fashioned swimming aids, which are often restrictive around the arms and body. It’s not just a swimming aid, however. It’s a professional piece of teaching kit, a buoyancy aid and a toy. It’s so versatile, functional and practical, and you can use it in so many different ways, on people of different ages and abilities, including adults and people with special needs. What other single piece of equipment can say that? SwimFin makes learning to swim fun, but even after it has done it’s job as a learning aid, it will always find use as a water toy and a tool for strengthening ability and building confidence.

“The teachers and children at Total Swimming think SwimFin is truly amazing. It’s so innovative and practical, it makes a huge difference in their physical and mental learning.

“I used my newly purchased SwimFins for the first time in my lessons today. As if by magic, the nervous beginners were transformed into daredevil explorers. The improvers were proud of their relaxed, almost effortless technique. My advanced swimmers enjoyed the challenge of inventing new ways to use their SwimFins in their training schedules. My teachers loved creating games using the SwimFins, which also provided them with plenty of refreshing ideas and new teaching practices. We used our SwimFins today to teach lessons and it just was amazing. We saw some immediate results. Pupils who had been struggling to move from very basic swimming as beginners to a higher quality stroke really showed an improvement.”
