If a child is looking for something fun to play with in the house, try the popular Air Swimmers Flying Controlled fish. These Air Swimmers are helium filled and radio controlled. Air Swimmers come in two different types of fish. One balloon is a vicious looking shark and the other is a bright and colorful clown fish.

This is a completely unique radio controlled toy. Assembly of the Air Swimmers are simple. A step by step instruction guide is included as are the batteries for the controller. Once it is all together, you have to fill it with helium to get it up and going. The giant Air Swimmers amazingly fly through some of the tightest places or it can even travel up a stair case because it “swims” in three different dimensions. This allows for Air Swimmers to move forward, up and down or right and left.

Air Swimmers are recommended for ages eight years old and up and even teenagers and adults will get a kick out of it. Air Swimmers are easy to control with a 50 feet radio control distance, however, it does take a little practice. The remote control has a 27 or 40 MHz signal and can be operated through walls. The fish requires one AAA battery that comes with it and the radio control transmitter requires one 9 volt battery, also included.

The Air Swimmers are huge. The flying shark and the clownfish are both about four and a half feet long from the nose to the tail. Additionally, the Air Swimmers shark tail and fins wave back and forth while it is in flight. The other cool thing about the Air Swimmers is that if it crashes into something, it will just bounce back off of it without any damage. It does move realistically like swimming through the air.

The downfall to the Air Swimmers is the fact that it does require helium. Even though it is pretty neat to have a remote controlled balloon, getting helium into it can be a pain. You can probably get the Air Swimmers filled at a nearby florist or party store but the only problem is getting it back home due to its large size. One plus is that this is supplied with a tether so you can tie it down once it is filled with helium. Another option is that you can purchase a small helium tank especially for the Air Swimmers but it is an additional $20. However you have to fill it with helium before actually attaching the electronic device that communicates with the remote control for movement and before attaching the fins.

The other downfall is that the Air Swimmers are made for indoor use only. You have to have a pretty large space for a four foot fish to travel inside the house. If you use it outside, the Air Swimmers will fly away. Another con is that the pieces like the controller that attaches to the balloon as well as the other stickers do not stay on well. If you fill it up with too much helium, it will float to the ceiling and will not work. Air Swimmers need to be refilled every so often due to the helium leakage.

People that have already purchased this toy says that it takes a lot of time to assemble because the directions are not very thorough. Other suggestions say that this is a bit fragile because it is a helium balloon. It is rated number one in radio and remote control vehicles and is ranked number five in the electronics for kid category.

  1. An Air Swimmer can be an ideal gift on Christmas this year for your children as it is very attractive. Air Swimmer is a very unique gift idea that will children love to have fun with. An Air Swimmer is a type of balloon which is inflatable and is in the shape of fish. Air Swimmer have light tale and with it is a remote control unit attached to its belly. Its special feature is that when it is filled with helium gas the unit looks like to float in the air and gives appearance of just as of swimmers in air. The helium charge remains in the balloon for about two weeks then must again be recharged.

    Fun begins when you have remote control in your hand with this remote you can totally control the balloon. If one is going to think of something special and unique that fits you and your children at your child’s special fun day then surely I recommend The Air Swimmers remote control flying clown fish and the beautiful Shark model.

    Nowadays Air swimmer comes in two models one the shark and other is clown fish. The look of shark is mean and aggressive which makes it suitable for adults. The clown fish is very beautiful and is full of fun which is suitable for younger kids. Controls are very easy left button of remote brings the balloon up and down while the right button controls the tail. You can tape the tail quickly or slowly and can turn left or right as you wish.

    Air Swimmers are loved both by children as well as adults. If some body loves the style of shark he can have shark model and if someone interested in the movie “Finding Nemo” he will obviously have the clown fish and this choice totally depends on children or adults.
    Air Swimmers are very durable because they are made up of nylon. This material helps to bounce them from wall to wall and also decreases the chance of breakage. The Air Swimmers remote control flying fishes can be inflated many times. For Air Swimmers remote control fishes you need four Triple A size batteries one is for the body while the remaining three are for remote control.

    Most amazing feature of Air Swimmers remote control clownfish is that of its size. It is about 36 inches high and about 57 inches in width. Air Swimmers fishes can move 360 degree up, down, left or right and also you can control it from 40 feet away. Air Swimmer Flying Shark and clown fish are both very entertaining and educational. A teacher will not feel any problem for student’s interest in lesson about aquatic life consisting of study of Shark because of this Air Swimmer Shark fish. Teacher can also give a full demonstration of movement of this fish in ocean and can describe some parts of Shark.

    More importantly these toys won’t make moms to worry that there children might get hurt playing with them. A family can also have these children toys as a part of joy for there leisure weekend indoors or a fun full day in the backyard. My recommendation is that on this Christmas you should try Air Swimmers as a lot of people are doing so.
