The ORCA Swim Trainer is a graduated buoyancy aid designed in the United Kingdom by swim educator Helen Hughes, built for children learning to swim between the ages of 2 and 6. Nine removable float pads let swim teachers and parents reduce support gradually as a child's confidence and technique develop, guiding them from first splashes toward independent swimming.
Features and how it works:
- Trunk-centred buoyancy supports a natural, horizontal body position without restricting the arms or legs
- Nine removable float pads across the chest and back, taken off one at a time as ability improves
- Free movement of arms and legs so children can practise kicking, reaching, and balance under guidance
- Bright, easy-to-spot designs for supervision in busy pools
- Not a life jacket or personal flotation device; for use only in supervised swimming sessions
