[quote=Anonymous]Not all floaties are equal. The puddle jumpers and water wings are the worst. Do not get these. They cannot actually swim in them and just bob around like a cork and do some doggy paddle variation. Not good. Let him swim with a pool noodle if he needs some more support to stay on top of the water. This still allows him to do proper swim strokes. Or those swim assist foam pieces you can clip on his back (or front if needed for backstroke). Those you can remove layers of foam as they get stronger and gain ability. [/quote]
