Question
I use an aid for children I teach to swim.  i want to market it

Answer
Shelley,

 There are a lot of variables to what you want to do.  I have a list of questions for your to answer so I can be a better resource for you.  Please answer the questions and I can get back to you with some guidance .  

1.Are you using a "device" as a training aid? Is this something that you created yourself?
2.Do you believe that there is not a product/method like this in the market right now?
3.How do you plan to market this method/product?  If this is not a protected/Patented idea, you will have to get some type of protection?  Are you prepared financially for this to happen?
4.Do you have any experience in marketing products?
5. how do you envision this method/product in the market?

Thanks,

Justin
