[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a boat or dock - my kids will wear them as long as I have a say [/quote] This. My family has a place on a lake. It's very very deep but is so clear you can't tell.[b] I've heard of adults who can swim jump in and try to get something from the bottom and drown on the way back up.[/b] [/quote] And you believed that? [/quote] I believe it. I grew up by the beach in California. I spent countless hours in powerful waves, did junior lifeguards for a couple of seasons and swam around a pier, was on swim team and we sometimes went to the beach to swim a mile in the ocean. The first time I jumped off a boat into a lake I panicked. I was so used to the buoyancy of salt water bringing you back up to the surface. It was the strangest sensation. It also didn’t help I had a drink or two. I got back in the boat and refused to go back into the lake. I’ve never gone back to swim in a lake again. [/quote]
