The Air Swimmers Flying Shark Review

William Mark Air Swimmers Remote Control Flying Shark
This Air Swimmer is an inflatable shark (57 inches long by 36 inches tall) that you can control via remote control. As it floats through the air, it moves its tail from side to side, making it look as though it really is "swimming" through the air. It also comes in the form of a floating Clownfish.

The Air Swimmers Flying Shark can be deflated when you're not using it, and inflated again and again whenever you want to bring it out. You'll need to inflate it with helium, but once you have it'll stay inflated for up to two weeks. Its design means that it gently bumps against any walls and objects, instead of crashing into them.

The remote control means you can move it up down, or around a full 360 degrees, from up to 40 feet away. You'll need 4 AAA batteries in order to use the floating shark.

They're perfect for use as a pillow, or they can be played with in their animal form - whatever your child prefers.

For example, the Dragon Happy Napper lives in a castle. In this form, you'll be able to ring the doorbell to wake the napper. Pull him out and watch his castle transform into the dragon itself.
