[quote=Anonymous]We were very anti-floaties with our first, but finally ordered some for our second after trying out a friend's at their pool. At 4 he is very anxious about learning to swim, resistant to professional lessons, and frankly they're so hard to get into it's almost a lottery where we are anyway. So we're going to use them for a bit to increase his comfort in the water and hope he doesn't wind up relying on them until age 8. OP, it sounds like your DS just needs practice. No fear is awesome! Learning when to breathe was tricky for my DS as well but he eventually got better. Don't go backwards. [/quote]
