He is very hipper and distract by any thing so it is hard for any one having him concentrate in lessons. I learn how to swing when I was 3 so I love be in the water and I know how important is the Boards to hold kids in their way to lean and feel confidence.
I purchased at the same time another board with spiderman picture, but didn't realize the width was smaller than the shark I am writing the review; this shark have the eyes more open than the regular board and that give my son more stability and track to put his hands. No matter I have the one with spiderman and shark together at the pool he choose this one because he grave it from the eyes and push his body to the water to start to kick.
Maybe because he is only 4 he need this board instead of the almost rectangular standard, I am not a professional but I can tell you for my experience if I only have the standard board he will not use it this summer.
