Using the Bestway Donut Swim Tube is a breeze. First, find a pump and inflate the tube until it's firm. Make sure to check for any leaks before you get in the water. When you're done using it, deflate the tube by opening the valve and let the air out. Then, fold it up neatly for storage. Remember, this tube is for kids and adults ages 12 and up. Always use it in a safe swimming area and under proper supervision. To keep it in good condition, avoid sharp objects that could puncture it. If there's a small hole, use the repair patch included in the package to fix it. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
