The swim season is here again, now it’s time to start enjoying the water with the kids again! We’re going to talk about the different types of tools we use for our kids, we’ve had the same float and swim discs for over 3 years and there’s always someone interested on them.
The SwimTrainer «Classic» float is supposed to be for babies between 3 months and 4 years (up to 40lbs or 18kg), we use it between 3months and 1,5-2 years. When we start swimming with our babies, at first we take them into the water without any device, so they can get used to the feelings and we make small games with them. Once they enjoy being in the water, we start 
using the float so they can enjoy moving on their own and to go into the sea safely (especially when it’s a bit wavy). It’s designed so it’s not easy to turn around and it has straps so the kid can’t fall out of it. Of course, there must always be someone looking at the kids to ensure they’re safe. The swimming position with this float is allows kids to learn to swim easily. Babies really enjoy their independence in the water, especially when they’re so young they can’t even crawl and they start being able to move where they want to go in the water. It’s great for everyone!
Once the kids are a bit older, they want to be able to touch the water with their hands and play with it. That’s when we start using the foam Swimming 
Disks. Delphin´s Swimming Disks come on a 6 pieces pack (2 of each color), which can be used together or independently. At the beginning of the season we use all 3 of them on each arm, then we start removing disks 2 by 2. The kids feel very safe with the disks, they can start swimming independently from 1,5 years onwards (under adult supervision). This armbands are better than the regular blow up ones because:
- They don’t leak
- There’s no need to inflate them
- Kids put them on happily – no red skin problems
- Kids put them on and take them off easily
- They are durable (this is our 4th summer with them, despite a number of sneeky bite)
Apart from this, we have the typical water noodle, which is fun for them from 
2 years on, and it’s great when kids start learning to swim, since it’s not as tied as the armbands. Adults need to be extra alert when kids are using the noodle…
