lifejackets at water parks

[mikejm]

My 6 yr dd is a decent swimmer but it would make me more comfortable if she was able to wear a lifejacket. Can she wear one on the slides and in the wave pool? Thanks

Yes I have seen small children with lifejackets on in the wavepool.
Life jackets are provided free with personal ID and a $25 refundable deposit.

My DD, 7 got a life jacket at the shark reef at TL last summer - we were not charged anything at all and she used it all day and we dropped it off later!

When we took our DD to BB she was 4yrs old and a very poor swimmer so naturally I am nervous of her being around water. We took blow-up arm floats for her and used them instead of the lifevests. Why?? Because I feel they give the child a little more room to move and because I think they are cooler to wear on a hot day. I'm sure many would disagree, and that's fine, but she was terrifically happy with these on her arms and when we return we are taking these again.
