How would you characterize yourself as a parent? Are you relaxed or a worrier? I am definitely a full blown worrywart. My children are some of the most important people in my life so I worry about their safety all the time. So I try to teach them safety and use products that will keep them safe as well.
Now that summer has started, I have signed both of my children up for swim lessons. I want them to be comfortable and safe in and around the water. My oldest daughter, Claire, has been taking swim lessons since she was 6 months old. Aveline will start mommy and me classes in July. Accidents can happen around the water and I want my children to be as safe as possible especially because we love to take vacations to places with pools or beaches.
Just a couple of months ago we took a trip to visit my in-laws in Arizona. The weather was predicted to be beautiful so we knew we would be doing some swimming. That trip was Aveline’s first time in a pool so we made sure to bring our SwimWays Infant Baby Spring Floatwith the Sun Canopy with us when we went. It is SwimWays fabric-covered baby float for infants between 3-9 months of age. It packs up in a fairly compact carrying case making it easier to fit into our suitcase. It was easy and quick to put together once we were at the pool, too.
SwimWays was the brand we trusted when we were getting our oldest daughter used to the water. We bought her an infant float from SwimWays when she was little and now she has several other SwimWays items as she learns to swim. We trust SwimWays products because they are an industry leader in helping children learn to swim and promoting water safety.
Aveline loved being in the SwimWays Infant Baby Spring Float while in the pool. It kept her comfortable and supported during her first time swimming and really helped create a positive first experience in the pool. I loved it because I didn’t have to hold her the whole time. She was able to kick and move her arms as she wanted. While she was in the float I was able to see her smiles better during her first pool time! She definitely loved being in the water in her float!
The float has a 3-point harness that helped keep Aveline secure at all times. She was comfortable in its soft seat. I felt safer knowing there are additional security features including dual inflation chambers, child safety valves, and a wide base with an inner spring around the outside edge of the float to help with stability. The built-in handles helped us keep ahold of it at all times. I also appreciated the removable and adjustable sun canopy. It has UPF 50+ sun protection. Even though we always put sunscreen on our children, the added sun protection is nice to help protect Aveline’s delicate skin.
We are leaving for a family vacation to Florida next week and we will be sure to pack up Aveline’s infant baby float then, as well. You can find resources about raising awareness about the importance of learning to swim in a fun and engaging way at the Teach Me to Swim website!
