At this time of year with the long summer days and children away from school people often wonder how to best fill the time. One way which is often used is a swimming trip, or a trip to a water park. Although the latter option might not be advisable if one in your party is a non-swimmer. The good news is that foam pool floats can help.
The biggest part of learning to swim is gaining confidence in water, and this is where these items come in useful. As they're available in a wide range of bright colours, whenever used the child immediately associates them with fun. They appear non threatening and so the child feels totally relaxed around them.
Everything becomes a game, and so water becomes linked with fun and games. Unlike their blow-up counterparts these units cannot be punctured and start to deflate at the most inconvenient of times. Due to the material that they are made from they are naturally buoyant, and so make a wonderful buoyancy aid for those who are less that confident in water.
Cool water does look very appealing on a hot day. People are jumping in and out of the water and really enjoying themselves. Unfortunately there will be those on the edge who are only confident enough to get their feet wet. Sometimes the thought of the traditional swim aids is slightly off putting, but help is at hand.
For the smaller children there are the buoyancy jackets. These jackets are lightweight and have different chambers into which buoyancy aids can be inserted. Gradually these can be removed so that the jacket is providing less of the buoyancy as the child grows more water confident. Eventually the jacket is empty but the child is happily unaware that they are floating on their own.
Older children and even adults can also benefit from a different device. These are known as noodles, and are long, thin floatation aids. If they are laid over the chest and held in position beneath the armpits they form a 'U' shape. Depending how much buoyancy is needed the number of noodles used can vary. At least now they can cool down a bit more than their feet.
These trips ought to involve more than just swimming, there is also the important relaxing. In the past there were the blow-up air mattresses. They have been superseded by rafts created with a vinyl coating, they come in a range of sizes. Some also have a built in headrest to ensure extra comfort. They can be used on the water or at the poolside.
For those wishing a day with minimum interruptions there are also floating trays. These are just smaller versions of the rafts. They will be big enough to be useful, but not so large that they get in the way.
It is easy to see just how versatile these foam pool floats are. With their bright colours they seem to invite fun. They are robust enough that you will be able to get plenty of use from them over the years. Even if they only help one person learn to swim that is one less potential drowning victim.
