“Mani is a revolutionary product for swimming teachers and parents alike. There are not many non-fixed buoyancy aids on the market which can assist with good alignment and those that are available are often cumbersome for both the child and supporting adult. Whether the supporting adult is the parent or the teacher, they will find this product easy to handle whilst still allowing the child independence when learning to swim. This product is superbly designed with the child/adult relationship at heart and I truly believe teachers will love this product as much as I did. More than anything, I believe Mani will help children with confidence issues learn to swim whilst having lots of fun.”

“This is by far the best swimming aid if you actually want your children to learn to swim. Would give 10 stars but there’s only the option for 5!”

“My four-year-old, Fergus, is on the cusp of swimming on his own, but finds normal floats frustrating, as they are difficult to balance on when he puts one under his tummy-so the Mani swimming aid is a revelation. Its great!”

— Rebecca Gamble, Journalist and parent , Reveal Magazine

“My four year old Sam loves his Mani, he has found lots more ways to use it than the website suggests! Mani has progressed his swimming skills along side his lessons and it's also great fun for us to use together. I've been asked many times where to get one!”

— R. Cross, Customer, Member of the Public

“Upon incorporating the Mani float within lessons, the children immediately took interest into its design and maneuverability and began experimenting with different ways as to its use. Once specific teaching practices had been put into place and the children were comfortable with this, you can see immediately how much more efficient the lessons become across all ages and stages within the swim scheme.
The floats allow for less time to be taken when getting out equipment, as the Mani is an all in one float. Also, I felt you could incorporate a lot more practice time within the lessons as you saw how quickly children adapted to the Mani, meaning that you can potentially increase the quantity with regards to the amount of practice the children get by up to 25% over the duration of a 30-minute session. This allows the learning process to be much faster and much easier for the child to grasp.”

“I bought the Mani Children’s swimming float for my great niece after researching the best products to get her off to the best possible start with swimming. I’m a keen swimmer myself and have seen a lot of kids in my local pool struggling in jacket style swimming aids that make it difficult for them to move freely and also get into the right position for swimming. The Mani float ticks all the boxes for me. It has an easy-to-hold handle for the adult to use when building up the child’s confidence. Later on, the lovely shape of the float will enable my niece to feel safely supported in the water, making that transition from being aided by the parent to being independent so much easier. The other big plus is that this float will last her for as long as she needs it, unlike the jacket type floats which need to be replaced as the child grows. All in all a great product.”
