Hiiiii,
I have a 3 (nearly 4) year old and a 1 (nearly 2) year old and we're off on our hols to a villa with a pool. Both are none swimmers and I'm wondering which brands of arm bands have you found the best????
Puddle Jumpers have been suggested but I'm struggling to find any reviews of them!!!

I prefer the suits, like Swimmate.
Otherwise I'd just buy Tesco or another standard brand.

We used ELC ones - about £5 a pair

we found this to be good too for supporting in the water

Thanks so much...I think a float jacket is a sensible option...

Cheap ones , take at least one spare.... We lose armbands regularly.
I've bought expensive ones and cheap ones and actually the cheap ones from Asda fit better, float just as well and I don't curse so much when only one comes home with us.

These are the ones our DD gets at her swimming lessons, they are a bit expensive though compared to the others.

I would probably go with the suit too, just in case.

Thank you...at this rate he'll have discs, float suit and arm bands I'm that paranoid!!!
