Zoggs Dive Sticks, Kids Swimming Pool Toys, Brightly-Coloured Sinkies Diving Toys for Swimming Pool Games, Confidence Building Sinkers, Age 3 & Up, Blue/Lime/Orange, 3-Pack

A good pool toy for holiday. Lots of fun to be had and help encourage kids to go under the water.

6 months ago, I was scared of even going to the swimming baths. I had a real fear of pools, but was forced to go to lessons after a bet with my mum (New Years resolutions!). It had been 8 years since my last swimming lesson. Now, I actually feel more comfortable under the water than the world on top of it - and that was just 6 lessons in!We used various aids in our classes to boost our confidence. One of them were these Zoggs Sinkers (as I prefer to call them), that come in packs of four. Soon enough, after plucking up the courage to go under water, I now can't wait to go back to the pool and swim around trying to pick up these sticks! They are much better than bricks in that when thrown in the water, they sink Vertically, meaning you can get a handle grip of them.The are a nice size, brightly coloured, and very well made. What we've started doing at the end of our lessons is getting more adventurous and throwing them towards the deep end, on the other side of a lane. This encourages us to swim a little further down, and navigate across the lane above us.I now have no fear in going to the deep end, just dropping down, and seeing how many I can get. Though for confidence building, it would be better to stay in shallower waters, as the pressure on your lungs 2 metres down will shorten your depth.Even away from building your confidence up they act as a great game to see who can pick up the most! I can't recommend them highly enough. I'd definitely buy these Zoggs rather than cheap copies because of the quality. Though as I've found, this time of year when are the baths quiet? Grrrrrr....

Bought to help my daughter with her underwater swimming. They work really well and were great fun for both of us.

My daughter loves them and they have really driven her to get better at diving. They are a little cumbersome to carry around whilst swimming. A little swim bag or strap would be really handy.My chief issue with them is that they lose all of the air inside pretty quickly and stop standing up on the bottom of the pool. This really frustrates my daughter as she is pushing herself deeper and deeper but then they fall over and go out of her reach. They need to be a little more naturally buoyant to stop them falling over.

Got a pack of 3 for the kids. Quite simple: you throw them, watch them sink, then go and get them. The swimming pool tend not to approve though, apparently I shouldn't be throwing kids and watching them sink.

I like the product which is helping my granddaughter with her swimming and diving.

Took on a recent holiday and great fun for all the family in the pool. Good value for money and the sticks stand up on the floor of the pool so children can dive to collect them. Excellent for encouraging little ones to swim and play underwater.

I bought these seal dive sticks for my 7 year old twins, who spend more time underwater than above it. We tested them at our local pool yesterday and they're BRILLIANT. Exactly what we needed... they sink to the bottom of the pool, drain quickly (and, much to their amusement, the water coming out looks like the seals are weeing!) They're colourful, robust and even come with a handy storage bag. Seal sticks are a talking point and great way to make friends at the pool too - provided you don't clunk someone on the head when throwing them! Brilliant product - can't fault 'em!
