[quote=Anonymous]Certified Water Safety Instructor and lifeguarded many summers. I don't like any flotation devices at all once theyre out of the big baby floats that you hold onto. My kids are little and i totally get it, it's a pain and super physically taxing to be hands on the whole time but it's only a few summers. My 3 year old can swim across the pool now. I also have another child so I also get that it's hard with multiples but if the only way you can take them to the pool is by having multiple in floatation devices that is not a safe situation. Unfortunately if you don't get them used to going under, their face being wet, etc when they are younger toddlers (ideally once they're able to walk I'd be going under with them at least once each pool trip over the summer) it's really difficult later. By 5 it's really rough. Obviously some people just don't have the means to do this but many do and it's inconvenient or whatever. [/quote]
