Why use the Orca Swim Trainer?

Purposeful buoyancy. Thoughtful progression. Teacher control.

​

The Orca Swim Trainer is a learning support tool, created for swimming teachers, therapists, and caregivers who understand that young children do not simply “learn to swim” through repetition or survival responses.

Instead, early aquatic learning requires:

• appropriate buoyancy distribution

• opportunities for exploration and movement discovery

• calm, supported conditions for skill emergence

• and a clear pathway towards independence

The Orca is designed to support these conditions, not replace teaching, not accelerate outcomes, and not function as a safety device.

​

The Orca Swim Trainer is designed to:

• Support horizontal body alignment so teachers can focus on breathing, rotation, and coordinated movement

• Provide trunk-centred buoyancy, allowing free arm and leg action

• Enable guided exploration without forcing premature independence

• Allow teachers to adjust buoyancy levels progressively as skills emerge

• Help children experience water with reduced tension and improved body awareness

The Orca does not teach swimming skills on its own. It supports the conditions in which learning can occur.

​

The Orca Swim Trainer is NOT:

• A life-saving or rescue device

• A replacement for teacher instruction or supervision

• A shortcut to swimming independence

• Intended for unsupervised play or open-water use

Its purpose is to be used temporarily, deliberately, and progressively within structured swimming programmes.

​

Adjustable support, guided by the teacher

The Orca Swim Trainer features nine removable float pads, allowing buoyancy to be tailored to each swimmer’s needs and gradually reduced over time.

This enables teachers to:

• adjust support based on body proportions, confidence, and movement ability

• reduce reliance as skills develop

• transition swimmers between supported and unsupported movement within the same lesson

Progression is teacher-led, not device-driven.

​

Designed for use in:

• Learn-to-swim programmes

• Early years swimming lessons

• Inclusive and adaptive aquatic settings

• Therapeutic and supportive aquatic environments

• Parent & child classes under professional guidance

Suitable for children aged approximately 2–6 years, depending on size, development, and programme goals.

​

A tool to support planning, not replace practice

The Orca Swim Trainer is best used when:

• teachers actively decide when it is used and when it is removed

• lessons include both supported and unsupported movement

• buoyancy is reduced as skills, confidence, and control develop

• learning goals focus on movement quality, not speed of progression

Used in this way, Orca becomes part of a thoughtful teaching strategy, not a dependency.

​

Calm support while your child learns with a teacher

When used by trained instructors or under clear guidance, the Orca Swim Trainer can help your child:

• feel more secure during early water experiences

• explore movement while remaining supported

• build familiarity and comfort in a structured environment

Always remember:
The Orca is a learning aid, not a safety device. Adult supervision is essential at all times.
