[quote=Anonymous]Floaties were helpful bc i had 3 very close in age kids I took swimming myself. I could hold the baby while the 2 and 3yo got out all their energy jumping off the wall and swimming back to it a million times all winter long. I know they have their downside (obviously. that's what i'm trying to figure out now) but also they served a purpose for us. I wouldn't have been able to take them at all without floaties. For other "baby" things, they just disappeared (crib, diapers etc). Floaties could too of course but that will really ruin the ability to swim for the other two as well if 4yo refuses to get in and acts out because he's frustrated. I like the idea above though of getting him used to it in little increments. He hates lessons in general (of all types) but perhaps if I get more comfortable without the floaties, I could then bribe his productive participation in a lesson[/quote]
