Swimsafe Floatsuit
For those of you who have little ones who are afraid of the water, consider the Swimsafe Floatsuit. It’s only for ages 2-5, so if you have trouble swimming, I suggest lessons. But for kids, this provides an excellent way for them to get comfortable in the water. There are buoyancy panels in the front and back which act like a life vest, helping keep your child afloat, and there’s also extra buoyancy at the neck, which helps keep kids right-side-up and keeps their face out of the water. It might actually be difficult to learn to swim in something as buoyant as this, but for kids who refuse to go near the water at all, this is a good way to introduce them to it. Once they’re comfortable, then they can learn how to swim. Meanwhile, the suit has a zipper in back so kids can’t wriggle out of it, and it also provides SPF 50 protection for all body parts that it covers!
