SwimWays Zoom-A-Rays 3-Pack: Self-Powered Water Toys for Kids 5+ – Pool Games & Swim Training
The SwimWays Zoom-A-Rays are kid-powered underwater gliders that shoot through the water without batteries. Sold as a 3-pack for ages 5 and up, these pool toys use adjustable fins to create three distinct movements—breach, swirl, and helix—making them engaging for swim practice and pool games.
How the Zoom-A-Rays Work
These toys are entirely self-powered. To use one, simply dive deep underwater with the toy, then let it go. The hydrodynamic design propels it forward as it quickly glides to the surface. No batteries, winding, or charging needed—just the force of the water and the toy's shape. The soft, colorful fins can be adjusted to change the direction and motion, giving kids control over the action.
Three Movement Patterns
Each Zoom-A-Ray can perform one of three movement patterns depending on how the fins are set:
- Breach: The toy launches upward and breaks the surface like a dolphin.
- Swirl: It spins in a tight circle just below the surface.
- Helix: The toy corkscrews through the water in a spiral path.
Because each pack contains three toys, you can set them all to different patterns for varied play. Experimenting with fin positions allows kids to discover new moves, like horseshoe turns or zigzag glides.
Versatile Play Options
The Zoom-A-Rays work in any body of water: swimming pools, lakes, the beach, or even the bathtub. Their bright colors and patterns make them easy to spot underwater, so they're less likely to get lost. They're great for solo play, group games, and family competitions. Use them as pool party favors or for everyday fun in the water.
Encouraging Water Confidence
While not a certified training tool, these toys help kids become comfortable in the water. The act of diving to retrieve the toy and watching it launch encourages them to hold their breath, paddle, and move around. Over time, children can build confidence and coordination through repeated play.
