Has anybody got any recommendations for a nearly 3 year old nervous swimmer (through lack of experience really). DS used to do baby swimming but hated the lessons and stopped at 18 months with me vowing to take him to the local pool once a week for 'fun' swimming - oops naughty mummy broke her vows! So anyway we went the other day, I managed to convince him to enter the pool after 15 minutes of watching another little boy jump in off the side and having a great time. Once he was in he loved it, and managed to pick up the skills we had learnt from the lessons. I think he will need some sort of floatation aid. So I am after some good recommendations for armbands whether they are normal rectangular ones or circular (what's the difference?) or a vest, or floats etc. I feel absolutely clueless after googling them. DS is tall, he managed to stand up in the pool with his chin just out of the water at a depth of 0.8m. Thanks.
