Highlights

The cheapest, most useful thing in the pool

One length of closed-cell foam does more jobs than any other training aid. Under the arms it holds a nervous beginner upright. Under the knees it floats an adult on their back. Held out in front it becomes a kickboard. Bent double it becomes a seat.

Closed-cell foam

Foam with sealed bubbles. It does not soak up water, so it floats as well at the end of the afternoon as it did at the start.

Bends, does not snap

Roll it, bend it double, sit on it. It springs back. There is nothing rigid inside to crack.

Bright colours

Easy to spot in a busy pool and easy to see against the sea floor if one drifts.

Adults too

The buoyancy is enough to support a grown adult under the arms or behind the back for aqua aerobics.

Product description

About this product

Conquest Swimming Pool Noodle – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

A pool noodle is a tube of closed-cell foam about 1.5 m long and 6-7 cm across. That is the whole product. What makes it worth having is how many different things one can do.

For a child who is nervous in water, a noodle tucked under both arms gives them the buoyancy to stand upright in the deep end without a parent holding them. Unlike arm bands it can be let go of, which matters: a child who can choose to release the float learns faster than one strapped into it. For a swimmer working on body position, a noodle under the knees floats the legs and lets them feel what a flat, high hip looks like. For aqua aerobics, one behind the back and one under each arm makes a floating chair for leg work.

It also does the jobs that have nothing to do with training. Children will use it as a sword, a horse, a diving target and a water pistol – a noodle cut in half and used as a siphon is a classic. In Dar es Salaam it travels well to the beach, weighs nothing in a car, and costs little enough that losing one to the tide is not a disaster.

Foam is the one thing to look after. Closed-cell foam is tough but chlorine and hard sun both attack it. Rinsed and dried in the shade a noodle lasts seasons; left in the sun at the poolside it goes chalky and starts shedding at the ends.

Questions

Good to know

Is a pool noodle a safety device?

No. It is a buoyancy training aid, not a lifejacket, and it can be let go of or slip away. A child using one still needs an adult watching within arm-s reach. For open water at Coco Beach or Kigamboni, use a proper vest instead.

Can an adult use one?

Yes. The buoyancy is enough for an adult behind the back or under the knees, which is how they are used in aqua aerobics and rehabilitation classes. Under the arms it will support a lighter adult; a heavy adult will sit lower in the water.

How does a noodle help someone learn to swim?

It lets a beginner stand upright in deep water without holding the wall or a person. That removes the panic, and a calm beginner learns to breathe and kick far faster than a frightened one. As confidence grows, move the noodle from under the arms to under the chest, then take it away.

Why do the figures say supplier figure?

Length and diameter come from the supplier-s specification rather than a manufacturer datasheet we could verify, so we mark them. Foam noodles vary a little between batches. If an exact length matters for your use, ask us and we will measure the stock in the shop.

How do I look after foam training aids?

Rinse in fresh water after every session and dry in the shade. Chlorine and UV both break down closed-cell foam - a board or noodle left on a sunny poolside all summer goes chalky and crumbles at the edges.

Does it go soft in the sun?

Direct sun over months will do it. UV breaks down the surface cells and the foam starts to chalk and crumble at the ends. Dry it in the shade and keep it indoors between uses and it will last several seasons in Tanzanian conditions.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.

Can I cut it to length?

Yes - a bread knife cuts foam cleanly. Shorter sections are easier for small children to handle and the offcuts still float. Cutting does not affect buoyancy because every cell is sealed individually.
