The Pirat Floating Aid by Krabat

Adaptive and mobility experts, Krabat believe in creating special needs products which facilitate progression and mastery in the end-user, and that means gaining a sense of independence both on land and in the water!

This award winning floating aid will allow special needs children aged 2-8 years (Size 1) and aged 8-18 years (Size 2) to thrive in an environment you may have never thought possible, the swimming pool, the ocean or the lake! Both Pirat sizes can accommodate swimmers up to 154lbs (70kgs).

The Krabat Pirat, which boasts the sleek and sophisticated aesthetics we’ve come to expect from this industry leader, allows your child or special need teen the freedom-of-movement to enjoy water-based activity, with the body angled anywhere from horizontal to vertical in the water.

This is achieved by the device’s central, padded support board, with full pelvic support and an optional back strap, into which the budding swimmer is secured on their stomach, to be positioned at whichever tilt the therapy session calls for, from 0-90 degrees.

This incredibly stable support system is suspended between 3 durable floating discs, with a buoyancy sufficient enough to tackle the most crowded swimming pool environments and even the choppiness of the sea.

Swimming therapy, with the positioning factors and setup allowed by the innovative Krabat Pirat, will work to strengthen the neck, back and core muscles, while improving both upper and lower limb mobility.

Much like swimming for the able bodied child or adult, special needs swimming therapy is a full body strengthener which enables independence and is arguably the funnest therapy imaginable.

The entire Krabat Pirat, complete with fixtures, padding finishings and chassis, is corrosion and rust proof and entirely durable, for use in freshwater, salt water and chlorinated swimming pool water.
