Product Reviews of Aqua Jogger Junior
Product Review: The best teaching tool ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product forces a child to move their arms and legs to stay upright...therefore teaching them to swim all on its own. I took this on vacation for my 3 1/2 year old son and by the second day he was jumping off the side, going under and swimming to the other side of the pool with only this to help him. It gets an A+ from me. He felt very secure and I felt okay letting him be independent. It is not a life saving device, but it is definitely a "lifesaver" in my book.Product Review: aquajogger jr
Summary: 5 Stars
Another customer rates this product poorly because it positions the child face down if they use it to learn to swim. As a swim school owner I can comment that the only way to properly swim is with the head down in the water. This is one of the main concepts of the Red Cross swim method and the Total Immersion swim method. So the Aqua Jogger Junior is positioning the child correctly but AN ADULT MUST ALWAYS BE PRESENT TO ASSIST THE CHILD WITH LIFTING OR TURNING THE HEAD TO BREATHE. "Floaties" on the other hand don't teach children to swim but to navigate around with the head up which doesn't work to teach proper swimming technique. The Aqua Jogger Junior should never be used as a lifesaving or water safety device (and "floaties" should not either as I have seen kids jump in and have "floaties" fall off more than once). Other products that properly position children to learn to swim (with an adult by their side) are Zoggs back floats and Water Gear back floats which have progressively removable layers of floatation.
