Accessories for kids - Recommendations
It’s important that kids get some good experiences in the water. It’s all about finding the right gear for them, to provide as much security as possible. You will find a lot of options for this goal.
One of the most significant elements, when kids need to learn to swim, is that they have the right buoyancy in the water. Here you can find a lot of options that can all be used interchangeably according to the kid's specific needs. Some feels more comfortable with arm floaties and belts, others do their best swimming wearing a swimming vest, while other kids just require a shark fin.
The smallest kids will however benefit the most from a swimming seat. They are perfect for this, since they give that kid a great sensation of being in the water, but without the problems of keeping them in the surface of the water. This also gives a lot of security for the parents.
The most important thing is that the kid enjoys being in the water, and has a sensation of comfort and security. That’s why toys are a great idea, where some of them also provide buoyancy. For instance, you can use aqua noodles to ride in the water, while they at the same time keeps the child at the surface.
Many kids can also get middle-ear issues during their childhood, where they in these periods should not get in the water. Here you can use earplugs for swimming, or maybe an ear band, to keep the water out of the ears. Apart from this, an ear band can also help keeping the kid a little warmer, so they don’t get too cold in the water.
For all these options, we have the following recommendations:
Beco pool noodle
5.0/5
Based on 7 reviews
- A 160 cm long worm with a diameter of 7 cm, that the smallest kids from 1 year can greatly benefit from, when they need to feel secure the first couple of times in the water. The smallest kids are placed with their back on the worm, while they are being led around in the water by the parent. The slightly older kids will typically place this under the stomach for buoyancy, and can then practise both their swimming kicks and their arms at the same time
- Apart from strengthening your swimming skills, it is also a fun toy in the pool - but look out, they’re a bit too fun (and good) to slap around
- Can keep all kids under 6 years above water, because of its thickness.
- Comes in different colours
- Made from PE-foam, which is very resilient and doesn’t “crumble”
