Swimming Aids.

Swimming aids are a fantastic and fun way to develop a child's confidence in the water and help them to learn to swim. Below I have Listen a few of my favourite swimming aids but I want to take a moment to issue a word of warning. Swimming aids are never a substitute for parental/adult supervision. Whenever a child is in the pool it is absolutely vital that he/she is supervised. A swimming aid will NOT prevent your child from drowning.

Use the swimming aids as intended and have great fun.






I also recommend the use of arm bands for beginner swimmers. I have used them for both of my boys whilst learning to swim, they help build confidence and a love of the water. As your child improves you can let a little air out of the arm bands giving less and less support.

Remember that swimming aids are designed to be used with adult supervision at all times.

Stay Safe by the pool and enjoy.

Safety Turtle Saves Lives


A child can drown in the time it takes you to answer the telephone.

The risk of child drownings are high and usually underestimated. Children are naturally inquisitive, young children have not yet got the ability to understand that if there ball goes into the swimming pool and they reach in to get it, they are likely to fall in.


Most drowning accidents in swimming pools happen when an adult is supervising the child. It literally takes minutes. Unless we are super human we can't possible see what our children are doing 24 hours a day.


Safety Turtle is designed to be the last line of defence against drowning. Adult supervision comes first and should never be replaced by any alarm system, making the pool area safe, and lastly the use of Safety Turtles Anti drowning systems.

Safety Turtle Anti Drowning Alarm


Safety Turtle is a fantastic personal alarm system designed in Canada. A few years ago we were fortunate enough to become official distributors of the European model. We love this product and used it with our own son until a few years ago. My son is a fantastic swimmer now, but the peace of mind it gave us during those early years was unbelievable.
Let me tell you how the personal anti drowning alarm works. You get a base station which is about the size of a portable cd carry case. This goes into the house and is plugged into a normal electrical socket. The safety turtle wristbands, as you might imagine are shaped like little turtles. For our European market we have green turtles and blue turtles. The wristbands are completely sealed and childproof. The wristbands are strapped onto your child's wrist and locked in place securely using a special key. The wristbands are light and comfortable to wear (lighter than a watch). With each wristband comes a baby turtle (a miniature version of the one on the wristband), this baby turtle is pushed into a socket on the base station. With the baby turtle in place, the base station plugged in and the safety turtle wristband securely fastened to your child's wrist the alarm is working. If your child falls into the swimming pool now a shrill alarm will sound at the base station.
Any number of same colour wristbands can be used with just 1 base station, making this a cost effective and reliable to protect all of your children around the swimming pool.
The base staion covers an area of approximately 200ft (60m).
