SwimFin is the first truly new development in swimming aids for decades. Worn on the back, it does not hamper or restrict the ability to move in the water. SwimFin is a flotation device that provides as much buoyancy as the swimmer needs while helping maintain a good position in the water. Other instruction aids tend to tip the swimmer forward or hold them upright, resulting in a swimming position that impedes movement through the water, and actually makes swimming more difficult. SwimFin on the other hand gives only the support needed, giving the user the FEEL of independence, and thus encouragement and motivation.

With SwimFin, the lower you are in the water the more support it will give you, as with the beginner swimmer. The higher you are in the water the less support it will give you as with an improved swimmer. SwimFin compensates for different abilities.

It's a fact that the human body is naturally buoyant: we don't sink to the bottom of the pool and crawl along the floor like a crab. By using too much buoyancy assistance some of the other floatation aids lift the body unnaturally in the water, and if placed wrong tipping it forward, and in this case the body acts on a see-saw principle which then forces the face into the water as the hips and legs come up (which in most cases causes panic). Because SwimFin is predominantly vertical and out of the water, it works in harmony with the user’s natural buoyancy level.

SwimFin makes learning to swim fun, but even after it has done it's job as a learning aid, it will always find use as a water toy, strengthening ability and building confidence.
