Turtle Pack Swimming Aid | CAMP.com

The Turtle Pack looks quite different to the traditional swimming aids on the market, so let us talk you through how they work!

Will the Turtle Pack Swimming Aid push my child's face into the water?

Turtle Pack has been designed keep children in a doggy paddle-like position in the water, so will not force their face into the pool. We do, however, strongly recommend that you hold your child's hands and support them as they grow accustomed to the product and the buoyancy it provides.

Have Turtle Pack products passed safety testing?

Yes! Both the original Turtle Pack Swimming Aid and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Swim Float are certified to the following safety standards: EN71 (1,2,3), EN13138-1:2014, ASTM F963, AS/NZS 1900:2014 + A1:2015, Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 with Consumer Protection Notice No.11, 2011

Can Turtle Pack products be used for backstroke?

Yes, however we recommended that the outer and middle shells on the three-shell Turtle Pack Swimming Aid are removed and that the vest and fixed shell are kept on. The TMNT Swim Float can be used for backstroke with no adjustments.

When did Turtle Pack start?

Turtle Pack was founded by award-winning swimming teacher Michael Harkins whilst he was studying a Master’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Heriot Watt University in Scotland, where the company is based.
