Bring Your Own Floaties to Resort Pools?

[GusGush]

Eight days away from our one-week stay at Saratoga Springs Resort . . . . Just wondering if anyone knows if it's okay if we bring our 15-month-old's little floaty/boat-thingy raft with us for use in the pool? What about a raft for ourselves or the other kids in our party? These seem easy enough to pack before they have been opened and inflated . . . . The resort pools don't offer rafts for guests use, do they? If not, will they allow us to bring our own?

Floaty boats for infants are OK, floaty rafts for adults are not allowed. Noodles are OK.

What about arm floaties, are they okay?

How about life preservers? We were thinking of bringing them for our DDs for the Poly. Though I've heard maybe the Poly poll has life preservers for the little ones (4, and 2)?

arm floaties are OK, life jackets are available at the pools.

Our last two trips (BWV's and BCV's) we brought our small floatie for our daughters. its round with a seat on the bottom and some toys attached to it. We never had a problem with them using it at the pools.

If the infant/toddler has the ability to actually "sit in" the float, they allow it. They don't "rings" since they don't have a seat, and definitely not air mattresses, rafts, etc. As posted, you can get life jackets at the pools, and arm floaties are definitely OK.

We used floaties last summer at AKL in August. They weren't huge; but they weren't small either.

We also brought along diving sticks and torpedoes.

We used the Speedo infant swim vest at POR pool and the water parks, and on our cruise for that matter. Nobody said a thing about it. I'm planning on doing the same in Nov with the 2 kids. Hopefully we won't have any trouble, but I did see the vests at the pools and they seem fine. But you know kids - they want whats familiar.
