Hi friends, I need to swim, buoyancy aid?, thanks a lot!

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

No, you can not swim with this. This thing fit nicely on my ears. You may need to change the ear piece rubber. It comes with two extra sizes.

You will most likely have your shoulders and above out of the water and so will your husband. We both use the float and we love it. It is really comfortable but some of your body will be out of the water.

I've never tried while swimming but I would think it would be fine. The only time I lose it is when I'm doing push-ups or burpees.

Don't swim in deep water. I imagine you would sink!!! You would have to be a pretty good swimmer just to manage the weight of the wet vest alone! If you are going to try it, I would recommend having someone responsible nearby for safty.

No flotation assistance. But the Neosport triathlon suits including the short leg sleeveless models give some buoyancy. But for casual swimming or daily training in a cold pool, the vest is much easier to put on and take off.

Yes you can.... very simple too... you just need to secure a point on the power cord that allows float to move freely....

I don't see how these pants can help you improve floating. That should be more about technique that you can consult with a swimming coach ;-) !!

Id have to say, probably not much. The Bio fuse according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqCa_dhbC8, look way more flat. I used the contoured speedo ones and find that I do NOT use them anymore. They were helpful on backstroke for like a week and now Im done with them. If you think you need paddles, I would try the Biofuse, cause I dont feel any more resistance with the contoured. However, the quality is really good, hard plastic, and tight bands. So Im assuming the Biofuse will be the same quality that will last for years to decade. I want to try the Biofuse now. I think these are all kinda gimmicks if you already know how to swim. I dont use a kick board, I lie on my back. But try the Biofuse and then sell them online if you dont like them.

Yes/no: how big and how strong a swimmer??? If you want to use an umbrella sleeve at the BOTTOM, then use bungees in the middle OR secure middle somehow.

Absolutely. I do the ski and bicycle movements with buoyant dumbbells that help keep me afloat. You'll have to find what works for you. When I got them, I immediately took half of the weights out.

The Aquaskipper itself will float. At any time you are in the water and tired, you can rest by holding onto the vertical frame.

Wes, did you get this? I'm in southern AZ and have exactly the same problem. OFF doesn't work well in the pool esp lounging on a flotation device. I feel like a skeeter buffet and its embarassing when friends and neighbors go home bit. Cheers.

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.

It gives you the exercise that you get from swimming. I have friends who are serious swimmers who got quite a workout. Of course, nothing is like the feel of a free swim in the water, you are being held in a stationary spot. But, I like it very much, although, I teetered the pole in place with two 5 pounds weights. Placing the weights in the inside bottom of the pool to hold the pole. It keeps me from swaying to the side as I swim. this is my second one, I wore out the first one
