Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 3-2-1 Swim Pack a more effective swim aid compared to a children’s swim vest or swim buoy or swim trainer?
The 3-2-1 Swim Pack is different from a swim trainer, swimming life vest, swimming buoyancy aid or swimming buoy because of its patented design and proven methodology for teaching kids to swim independently while maintaining proper form.
Key advantages over traditional floaties or swim vests include:
- Progressive Learning: As foam layers are removed, decreasing buoyancy helps swimmers naturally align parallel to the water—essential for proper swimming technique.
- Correct Body Position: Traditional life jackets often tilt children backward, preventing proper swimming posture. The 3-2-1 Swim Pack maintains optimal body alignment throughout the learning process.
- Freedom of Movement: Unlike swim buoys that restrict arm movement and can deflate, the Swim Pack allows full range of motion for developing effective stroke technique.
- Structured Independence: While basic flotation devices create dependence, our gradual reductive system builds confidence and swimming skills in just a few sessions
How do you learn to swim with the 3-2-1 Swim Pack?
Learn how to swim with the 3-2-1 Swim Pack in three simple steps*:
- Start with all foam layers in place, providing maximum support while your child builds water confidence and learns basic movements.
- As your child masters each swimming milestone (demonstrated in our guide videos), simply twist and remove one foam layer at a time. This gradual reduction helps position their body more parallel to the water as they progress.
- With each removed layer, your child develops stronger swimming skills and greater independence. After completing all three milestones, they'll be ready to swim 5 meters unassisted*.
Our learn to swim tool adapts to your child's learning pace, ensuring a safe and confidence-building journey to independent swimming.

How long does it take to learn how to swim with the 3-2-1 Swim Pack? What is the success rate using this product?
There is no one-size-fits all approach to learning how to swim. Every child’s learning journey is unique, which is why we developed the 3-2-1 Swim Pack to adapt to their natural pace. Based on a study conducted with 5,000 children from 2021 to 2023, our data shows that over 75% of children (ages 3-9) were able to swim 5 meters unassisted after approximately 10 hours of practice.
Our swim milestone videos provide step-by-step breakdowns to help with teaching kids to swim, focusing on essential skills like scooping, flutter kicking, and proper body positioning for each level.
Please note: Learning to swim for beginners can be challenging - regardless of age. Individual journeys will vary based on initial confidence and comfort level in the water, prior swimming experience and practice frequency.
Is adult supervision required when using the 3-2-1 Swim Pack?
Yes, similar to all swimming aids, adult supervision is required at all times when a child is in or near water. The 3-2-1 Swim Pack is a learn to swim tool and is not a lifesaving device. An adult must be within arm's reach and actively watching the child during all water activities.
