[quote=Anonymous]The water we typically swim off of from a dock is very murky-- can't see your feet when treading water. I keep my 9yo swimmer in a floaty vest type thing. My 6yo who is a very new swimmer is in a proper life vest. There's a mental component here too, the murky water can be intimidating even though it's very calm. At the ocean beach we're mostly where the waves are crashing to shore. So like knee deep but kind of rough. I don't make dd wear anything there but I definitely see people wearing life vests - including my 6yo if we think we may actually want to go out beyond ankles or the water is particularly rough and I'm worried about him getting pulled out. Nothing at a pool if we're watching the kids, but I'd want something on my son if it was a big social setting and we weren't watching him. [/quote]
