Swim Instruction Harness

Abstract

A swim instruction harness comprising an adjustable support band that fastens around a child's torso with a loop handle for a caregiver to hold the child. An adjustable strap between the legs is attached to the adjustable support band, thus allowing the caregiver to hold the child in a horizontal body position in the water without being in the child's way. The harness gives the child needed support while also challenging the child to use its own strength and buoyancy to swim.
