Ranking of the best children's paddle boards for 2022

How useful it is for kids to engage in water sports has long been known - regular exercise helps to improve health and improve immunity. Special accessories, for example, such as a swimming board, will help to quickly teach a child to stay on the waves. Devices allow the child to move freely, helping to feel the pleasure of the process itself. We will talk in more detail about such accessories, their advantages, disadvantages, and which ones are better to buy in the review below.

Description and characteristics of these models

A children's swimboard is a streamlined design made of waterproof material. The product is held by hands, and such an object can be grabbed not only from the front, but also from the back, so some options even have special holes, for example, Aqua sphere mp children's swimming boards. As a rule, such accessories are used to teach the child the basics of water aerobics or to work out the movements that have already been completed with him. Devices can take different forms. However, they all look like oblong floats, with rounded edges, which improves maneuverability, eliminating injury during exercise. You can use such analogues not only when teaching a child the technique of sliding on water, but also as a board for aqua fitness. The children's model is slightly different from the adult.

1. Size - options for young swimmers are about 34 cm in length and 21 in width.
2. Coloring - accessories for children are more colorful, and also often have a pattern. For example, views with images of characters from favorite cartoons are very popular.

But if a few years ago the choice of these accessories for visiting the pool was limited to a certain type. Then for 2022, the best manufacturers of sports goods offer parents a wider selection of such equipment. At the moment there are the following types.

1. Products for leg training only. They can be of any shape:

• rectangular - the simplest option, which is slightly rounded in front;
• wedge-shaped or triangular, such models are much more maneuverable, they help to properly distribute the load.

2. Combined analogues or "kolobashki" - they are distinguished by a special recess that allows you to clamp the structure between the thighs.
3. Children's boards for swimming with a paddle or SUP.

What are the materials

The popularity of different models is provided by the very basis for manufacturing.

1. The material used must comply with safety standards.
2. Do not deteriorate when in contact with chemical compounds added to the pool.
3. Be strong yet light enough to carry even heavy weights.
4. Do not cause skin irritation or other allergic reactions.
5. Don't get wet.

In 2022, you can buy a children's swimming board from the following materials:

1. Plastic.
2. Advanced foam or PPS - pressed version;
3. EVA - Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is a finely porous base that is lightweight and resilient, resembling a frozen foam. Such products are very popular with parents, as they comply with the specified standards. They have such advantages as:

• in contact with a naked body, such an accessory does not seem cold;
• a device with a similar coating has a smoother streamlined surface, which allows it to glide better through the water.

4. Izolon PPE - cross-linked polyethylene foam.
5. HDPE is a non-tearing dense polyethylene.

Almost all versions of these swimming accessories have a slightly rough surface, which prevents the body from constantly slipping off it.Analogs intended for children are not only pleasant to hold in their hands, they are distinguished by reliability and durability. High-temperature treated options are considered good indicators of quality and durability; the coating of such products will not crumble or fill with moisture.

Recommendations on how to choose such a swimming facility

1. Type is what you need to pay attention to first of all. This will help make water aerobics classes more effective. It depends on the type of this accessory whether it will be easier for a small athlete to work with his legs or arms. That also affects the speed of mastering the skill itself.
2. The shape is another important selection criterion, as it determines the strength of the resistance to water. For kids who are just starting to ride the waves, it is better to choose a wider option with minimal performance. But for those who are already learning to swim, a smaller accessory with more resistance is suitable.

• According to reviews, a type that has the form of a rectangle, with special holes for the hands, has become widespread; it is suitable for very young children, as well as teenagers who have not yet learned to float on the water.
• Smaller variants of a triangular or straight shape have wider functionality. Such products allow the child to make more dexterous maneuvering movements in the water.
• It is quite possible to train arms or legs with the help of one board if you use a combined model or “Kolobashka”. It is fixed between the legs, allowing you to work with a separate muscle group.

3. Dimensions - according to buyers, these parameters matter, but are not particularly important, since they do not depend on the size of the swimmer, but rather on his skills.If the child does not yet know how to swim, then in order to avoid mistakes when choosing, it is better to purchase a product for him more, which will provide him with good stability, which means comfort when moving. These sizes of a children's swimboard will allow a novice swimmer to feel more secure, holding on to the water more confidently.
