I used this once in a pool five years ago and have been storing it at home. I'm selling it because my youngest child has outgrown it and won't be wearing it. As shown in the images, there is some fraying of the thread, which may have been there from the beginning, but otherwise, I think it's in relatively good condition. Please understand that this has been stored at home and has been inspected by a non-professional. I look forward to your purchase.
