Floaties?
What kind of swim floatie is good to use for kids who have outgrown puddle jumpers but can't swim on their own yet? My boys are 7 and 5 and weigh 58 and 65 lbs, respectively. TIA!

Floaties?
My 5yo just wears her life vest now. She's much more comfortable than she was in the puddle jumper bc she can move her arms to swim better. I was thinking of getting the belt with Styrofoam on the back like they use in swim lessons though to make her work a little harder.

Re: Floaties?
I always preferred the arm ones. Though they are old, I felt that they positioned the kid properly to swim... so that my kids could swim at 4 (before lessons)... when a swimmie deflated! Now, at 5 & 6, we are teaching proper technique.
Both older kids can wear vests when we snorkel or do "serious" stuff.

My kids have speedo life vests and they are great! Puts me at ease when they are in the pool and the kids are comfortable to swim in them; easier than puddle jumpers since their arms are free
