[quote=Anonymous]I'm a former swim coach and life guard and I would never ever use floaties with my kid. He's in arm's reach or he's not in the pool. They give a false sense of security to both parents and the kids. Lids in floaties absolutely can drown and they need to be very closely supervised. Remember that drowning is quiet. What also happens more than you'd think is a kid who is used to floaties then gets in the pool without them and gets into trouble. They don't know how their body naturally floats and they haven't learned how to get float without them. Never, ever trust floaties to do the work of you being in the pool with your kid.[/quote]
