Zoggs Kids Seal Flips Pool/Bath Toy, Swimming Toy for Breathing Technique, Multi, 3 Months+

Zoggs Seal Flips are an educational toy to encourage non-swimmers to breathe correctly in water. They are designed for use in swimming pools, and wouldn't work well in the sea. The general idea is to put the Seal Flip on the water surface and encourage the non-swimmer to blow which should cause the seal to flip over. This is a game better suited for young children as it is not such an exciting thing for more mature young people or adults. However, it does help to teach the correct breathing technique, and helps getting used to the face being in proximity with the water and so getting more confidence.Swimming teachers use them, but its the sort of toy that is fun in a teaching session but not so enjoyable when with family. However, we have have used them successfully with our children and you can create other games with them if you use your imagination.

I bought these for my 2 year old Son and my 8 year old nephew when they saw another child playing with something similar on the las day of our holiday in Wales during the April Bank holidays.The holiday site we were at had sold out but as we had another trip booked in June I decided to look online doe all the Zoggs toys.These were a great price compared to other sites.There were great... All the kids loved them... My nephew played with them, as did my 14 year old niece. Even my 2 year old Son had a turn in the toddler pool.Now we are home my son and my Husbands nephews (age 15 months and 3 yrs) play with tem in the paddling pool.They were a great buy!

These are simply fantastic. I go swimming every week with my son who is now nearly two and have done everyweek since he was a couple months old. We have many other swimming toys and he enjoys them as much as he enjoys the water. These are a class above however.There was a swimming instructor in the pool last week and she gave my son a pair of these to play with and he went crazy for them! They are very light so they float, but since they are so light, if you don't get quite a perfect grip on it, it just flips around and floats away - so perfect for toddlers to work on their coordination.I honestly couldn't recommend them highly enough

My kids started using these in swimming lessons as they teach children to blow when their mouths are near the surface of the water. Apart from being a teaching aid they're also fun, so I ordered them for the kids to play with. The trick (for grown-ups to do it properly and not get embarrassed) is to blow from the side rather than from above. A good first stage water toy before children move on to the Zoggs Rescue Seals.

I firstly bought these for the bath as just little floating fun things but then used them in the pool with our 19 month granddaughter.She really was able to blow them and make them flip over to the other colourful fun side.They took her mind off being wary of her water armbands and she loved the fun of them flipping over and the claps she received when she did so. I definitely see the benefits of these simple little floating saucers and they add confidence to new and young swimmers for sure.

I bought these from my grandchildren who are just starting to swim and it encourages them to get into the swimming pool and concentrate on flipping these over rather than being scared of the water. It's a jolly good idea that works well and gives me as a very able swimmer and grandparent pleasure to see this work so well. A quick delivery and a good price I would recommend this to anybody

They are okay, well made and nice bright colours. But not that much fun to play with and not much longevity of play in practice. You dont need five, i think two in a pack would suffice. Not that easy for very small children to blow to flip over, but nice to have something in the pool for them to chase and collect. I probably wound buy again though, i would be tempted to get a couple of floating characters to take instead.

These little floating flyer saucers were great for getting my 2.5-year-old to put her face in the water as she blowed them along. They are also good fun to throw into the pool and chase after as they float and my daughter who has arm-bands could go after them.
