A baby wetsuit is an excellent option for infants instead of a swimsuit or in addition to it.

• A well-fitted baby wetsuit will keep baby warm and secure.
• It will help to trap solid waste. Because let’s be honest swim diapers alone don’t always do the trick. (Be sure to remove your baby from the pool the second you notice any solid waste because no one wants a re-enactment of the scene from Caddyshack.)
• And the extra buoyancy that comes from the wetsuit helps baby float more efficiently. So your little one will master the back float in a shorter time.

The warmth, security and extra buoyancy that wetsuits provide for infants are not lost on older children either.

What better way to compliment a wetsuit but with a great pair of swim fins.

The best swim fins for kids are the Finis brand swim fins. There are many other wonderful brands of swim fins, but if you’re ordering fins online, naturally you’ll want them to fit just right so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of returning them. Finis brand sizes are perfect. They always coincide with my students shoe sizes.

You’ll need a kickboard for kicking practice with the new fins.

My students love kickboards. Especially those adorned with their favorite characters and sea creatures.

And last but not least keep them safe with their very own life jacket.

Make sure the child(ren) in your family who can’t swim always wear(s) a life jacket when around water. Stay within arms reach and never take your eyes off of your kiddos.
