An inflatable swimming armband is the most popular swimming aid among the children. It is the simplest form of an armband that is widely used as a floating device and swimming assistance for toddlers. Just like any other device, in this article, although the advantages dominate the disadvantages, we have listed some pros and cons so you can come to a decision for yourself.

One of the main advantages of using a swimming armband is for the added security of the children. This will greatly boost their confidence to move freely into the water. It is highly advisable to use for a group of a high number of toddlers for swimming lessons so that they can be highly supervised safely. Their ability to float can be adjusted as the level of assistance provided by the armband reduces due to the gradual deflation when they use swimming armband. Non-swimmer children will then become more confident to move into the water and stronger. Their arms and leg will build up proper coordination as they become more and more improved and independent in swimming.      

Some disadvantages of the armband are that some children find it hard to switch to different swimming assistance such as swimming vests or pins as they become more dependent on armbands. Since armband is ideal for children, it may not provide enough tendency to float if used by teens and adults. 

Enjoy swimming!
