[quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 year old is starting to get a lot more comfortable in the pool (she can swim about 6 feet independently to me) so we just let her hold onto a pool noodle. I like it because she can't just passively float with it, and it forces her to use her feet and arms to move around. I also think it makes it easier for her to try swimming independently since we don't have to take something off or on her. It's not as safe as a puddle jumper though (since she could easily let go of it) so we're always close by. I don't oppose puddle jumpers fwiw, she used one all of last summer (when she was 2.5) and loved it. But now I'm trying to push her more toward independent swimming. [/quote]
