[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never stopped. As adult I always wear one on the water, and my kids do too. [/quote] You always wear a life vest on the beach? I am not asking about in or near boats, or about in the water. I don’t do flotation with little kids when we are intentionally in the water because I want them to learn how it feels to swim and to sink. And it works because my kids are good swimmers. But playing on the beach with a 2 and 4 year old, we make them wear vests because they like to run and it’s too easy to make an impulsive decision to chase the big kids or something. I also make the 4 year old wear a vest when we are watching his sibling’s swim meets, or having a swim team social event by the pool. It would be too easy to lose him for a moment. Having said that I have had several kids wearing life jackets at pool gatherings and no one has actually gotten wet in one.[/quote]
