[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have never done life jackets for active swimming but we were just at the beach and I was surprised how many I saw. The ocean is a different beast. If I had this to do over with my kids I think I would do life jackets in the ocean until they were able to pass our pool’s swim test — for our kids that’s 6/7, but they’re great swimmers.[/quote] This is really dumber because people die in freshwater at a vastly greater rate. I grew up in the south and have a pool, I don’t think bodies of water are inherently dangerous with the proper precautions. In lakes, that includes a life jacket at almost all times. Even as an adult I use one.[/quote] Thank you for the criticism. We’ve never swum in fresh water though. Just pools.[/quote]
