Aqua Sphere Seal XP Lady Swim Goggles

Seal XP Lady swim goggles with clear lenses are designed to provide the greatest visibility while swimming indoors or in low light situations.
Customer Review: Love them
The goggles fit snugly, don't leak, are comfortable, and the visibility is great. They do, however, leave quite a deep mark around the entire edge of the seal.

quick delivery, quality product!! It fits my daughter perfectly. She wears it in and out of the water--very comfortable.
Customer Review: Great suit for the money
Great suit for the money - my son is a size 6, so I worried it might be too small, but it fit fine. My son used it for outdoor pool swim team early in the season when the water is pretty cold. The blue is a bit more on the purple side than the computer picture indicates - I thought initially I got the wrong suit, but it is the blue one.

These are the best goggles I've ever worn. They are very comfortable, don't leak, and provide more better visibility due to the curved lens. They are also very easy to adjust. I highly recommend these!

Adjustable Back Float for Swim Instruction

Our most popular children's instructional aid. Attaches easily to swimmer's back, freeing arms for proper position and motion. Multi-layered, closed cell EVA foam construction allows buoyancy adjustment as swimmer progresses, and will not chip or absorb water.
Customer Review: Foam Broke!
I was very excited about this bubble because the pads could come off as my child progressed in swimming. Unfortunately, we've only had this item for three weeks and had only been worn about 6 times when the first piece of foam fell off. The pieces broke off where the strap is in the back and it fell off. We ended up attaching that piece to the back and it hung on, but then the new front piece broke off, too. So all in all, two pieces have completely come apart. My child has only been swimming, jumping off the side, and jumping off of a small diving board which are typical things I feel a bubble should be able to withstand. I'm following the original advice I received and going to our local YMCA to purchase one instead.
Customer Review: Fantastic confidence builder!
My five year old has always been afraid of the water unless she has a death-grip on my neck. Her swimming teacher recommended this style of floatation device to safely give her the confidence to paddle around on her own. The advantage, she claims, is that the novice swimmer has absolutely no restriction on arm movement when using this type of floatation device. What a difference a week makes! Before getting this, she would only let go of me when wearing arm floats AND a Speedo life jacket. Yikes. Now she's swimming short distances without her "floatie," and keeping up with all of her older friends who can swim when she has it on. Her swimming ability and confidence doubled each time I removed a pad. We aren't down to the last one, yet, but I think she'll be swimming without the back float within a month. This seems to be well-constructed and the pads seem pretty durable. For your peace of mind, I suggest that you knot the strap at the adjustable buckle, as it shifts without a knot. I hope your little swimmer will benefit as much from this float as mine has.
