[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this isn’t helpful for you op but I hope other parents reading this take this as a lesson- parents should never use water wings to start with. They do not help kids to swim. [/quote] I don’t get the fearmongering about Puddle Jumpers, as long as you’re also teaching kids to swim and watching them closely. My kids both used Puddle Jumpers during play time in the pool when they were toddlers. But, we also had them in Goldfish lessons weekly starting when they were 2. We ditched the puddle jumpers around 4, and had them swimming legal strokes on a summer swim team (full team, not junior team) starting during the summer they were 5. [/quote]
