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.
Many will agree that getting confidence in the water is the biggest hurdle a person has to cross. That is where these items come into play. Their bright colours are associated with fun things. As a result they are not viewed with any trepidation by the child, and so the child tends to feel more relaxed and confident.
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.
On a long hot summer day the water looks so inviting. People are in and out of the water but those who are wary around water will often not get more than their feet wet, which is a shame. Some people get self conscious about using the old fashioned armbands and rings, but there are other options.
Maybe you will have seen small children wearing a buoyancy jacket. These jackets can have buoyancy aids fitted into different chambers. As the child gets more water confidence the aids can be removed one at a time. In time all that is left is the jacket on its own and the child is happily floating and swimming without any assistance.
For the older child, or even an adult there are things called noodles. These are long but thin floatation devices. They can be positioned under the chest and held in position by passing them under the armpit. Several can be used at the same time depending on how much buoyancy is required. Now the person can enjoy getting more than their ankles wet.
Not everything poolside revolves around swimming, sometimes people want to just relax. Many will remember the old style inflatable air mattresses. Now there are vinyl coated rafts of varying sizes, some also have a very convenient head rest built into them for additional comfort. They can be used either in the water or on dry land.
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.
