We’ve been going swimming a lot lately and between us take it in turns holding toddler in the water. It’s starting to become difficult cus he’s so heavy 😂 We’re not trying to teach him how to swim as of yet, just looking for an aid that helps take the weight off him and float standing up in the water. What’s best for this ?

Maybe someone else has an idea of a better aid (I’ve only taken my little girl swimming twice 😅) but she is able to float upright with just armbands on. They’re the big speedo ones (I think that’s the brand)

Following because we go away soon and I’m stumped on what to get him for the pool😂😂

We go swimming every week and we either use a swimsuit that already has the floats in it or we use a swim vest both do the same job and are great x

We go to swimming lessons every week and my little one is thriving in armbands. We have the Speedo 0-2 year ones, we haven’t had them long but the next size up is 2-6 yrs and that felt a bit big for his first armbands! He had them for a couple of weeks or so and now doesn’t like us holding him in the water (obviously we’re still right next to him).
