swim trainer
Buoyant learning aid
A swim trainer is a flotation device worn by children learning to swim, typically consisting of foam or inflatable supports that attach around the torso or arms.
Unlike water wings, swim trainers position the body horizontally to encourage proper swimming posture: She graduated from the swim trainer to swimming on her own.
The term also refers to a person who teaches swimming, though instructor or coach is more common.
