Spring Float 

I've used these for years, (the same one!) and it is still great! Can't understand why people say they curl up on you, mine never do! And, I am over 225 lbs., & my friends, who are heavier than I am, also use it! Everyone I know loves them and & know many people who have and use them! They are difficult to close up, but I think that's just me. I've am not good at "Re-Folding" things, and have never been able to do it well, on many other items, either, even when others could. Also, a friend was able to do it on my Spring Float! So, though I wish they were a bit easier to close, I think that's just me, & I have no problem keeping them inflated. On the rare occasions I do want or need to deflate them, I either get it to work eventually, or get someone to do it for me!

I got this float over 4 years ago and it is still going strong. Mine is blue with a surfer guy image on it. The colors have faded due to the sun damage and chlorine but product is still going strong. It is very comfortable, simple to use, simple to blow up, and simple to store. I am very pleased with my spring float and love getting it out every year. All it is missing is cup holders but for the price it is great.

I am very disappointed! This is my first Summer of owning 2 of the spring floats. I bought them last week 5/30/2011 and the mesh is already coming apart. And when you lay in them the sides come up around you. For $20 a piece you would think you would get a better quality item. The plastic $10 floats are better than these. Truly disappointed.

I too used to have some of the older floats that were longer and more durable.I sent Swimways an email asking them why the new spring floats are so short and of lesser quality. I never heard back from them. I have some of the new floats and they are almost junk. Come on Swimways start making these floats the way you used to make them (longer,larger and better quality)

Over eight years ago I purchased three of the Swimways Spring Floats at Costco. Back then they were manufactured with MUCH BETTER, MORE DURABLE fabrics, liners and metal inner parts. They were also LARGER than they are today. Although they lasted many years, they are now gone, and the NEW ONES are miserable, cheaply made, don't lay flat in the water and DO CURL UP AND YOUR BODY IS UNDERWATER. The price is the same, the QUALITY IS -10. I would pay MORE for the old GOOD DURABLE PRODUCT. If you are 6' or taller, ( or weight more than 200 lbs ) DON'T EVER GET THESE.
