[quote=Anonymous]DS 6yo is in lessons but overly confident and has a peculiar ability to keep on trucking after inhaling water. He has not been the type to take a second, cough, sputter and then slow down a bit but he is somehow able to persevere. The teacher and I have been trying our darnedest to remind him to hold his breath and it is his core struggle along with wanting to invent his own strokes and swim positions. He has no fear of the water and wants to be in the deep end but it’s a bit frightening (and encouraging that he will once he is learning, enjoy swimming). I’m considering the purchase of floaties and the vested sort seem to have an attachment at the middle. However, there’s mixed feedback online as to the use of floaties and dangers surrounding them.
