[quote=Anonymous]The issues is that the kid is 6 and in swim lessons. If this were a 3 yr old and the parents were going to a pool a few times this summer before the kid had formal lessons I'd be like "sure nbd." OP explicitly wants to use floaties on an older kid who she says has a lot of unearned confidence in the water and she wants him to wear them so he can go in the deep end even though he is not a strong enough swimmer. This is pretty much the worst possible scenario for floaties except maybe for "we have a pool and we put our kid in a floatie so we don't have to secure the pool or supervise them."[/quote]
