Swimming aids

[Optimistic2021]

Hi,

My dd will be almost 2.5 when we go on holiday and I just wondered what people recommend for in the pool? She currently has a swim vest but she just tips forward and then rolls on to her back or ends up under the water when wearing it if we let go. Does this happen with armbands too?

I will get her an inflatable float too but not sure what's best to use when she doesn't want to be in the float!

Previous holidays I've just held her but now she's getting older I don't think she'll want held the whole time!

Thanks

My dd wasn’t a fan of the armbands nor the swim vest. We just gave her an inflatable ring float which she preferred, perhaps because it feels more like the foam noodles that they use at swimming lessons. She was pretty happy to have that on most of the time.
