Michael Phelps Launches Water Safety Line

Olympian , Aqua Sphere will create method-based products for children.

Michael Phelps has expanded his partnership with Aqua Sphere to create a line of products to help children learn to swim and become water safe.

The Michael Phelps Swim Method will offer products that support youth water safety, fun and fitness through swimming. Additionally, the new products–a baby seat, swim vest, arm floats, dive rings and kickboard–are to be used based on the child’s age and ability.

For example, the baby seat (level one) will let parents have the child in the water with them while helping the child feel safe and supported, meanwhile the kickboard (level four) will include cutouts for various hand positions and a curvature to allow swimmers to put their face in the water, encourage proper streamline technique and a chance to develop their techniques.

The line will also complement the philosophies and techniques used by the Michael Phelps Swimming curriculum, which has been implemented worldwide through private swim schools and the Michael Phelps Foundation’s signature program.

“The Michael Phelps Swim Method products are purposeful tools designed to support the proven swim instruction techniques established by the Michael Phelps Swimming program,” says Todd Mitchell, business line manager, Aqua Sphere. “We’re happy to be providing products that will help children discover the life-long joy of swimming.”
