swim gear for a 13mo. - do the resorts and parks sell them???

[Fish2girls]

Hi! we are leaving in two days and are wondering if there is a place to get water wings or swim floaties for our 4 and 13 mo. girls!! any suggestions on floatation devices?

I've seen swimmies (the inflatebale arm thingies) in some of the gift and pool area shops. You'll also need swim diapers for the younger one--and they do enforce that rule, they sell them but they are $$$. Better to buy them locally before you leave.

Thanx Anne! We already packed disposable Pamper swimmers(they just came out with them). We will check into the floaties, myDD4 wants to try the arm bands.

You can get life jackets at the pools at some of the resorts for no charge. The arm floaties are OK but they can slip off. Also, as a swim instructor I can tell you they do contribute to bad habits. Children that wear the arm floaties tend to "run" in the pool rather than get horizontal and kick with a proper motion. Just be aware of it and encourage her to kick properly. Have a great trip!

Taget has some very nice "swim diapers" that are reusable for around $5!! You can get the matching top for around the same price, too.

THey also have "float" suits for under$20 as well and hats and sunglasses for little ones.

They also has arm wings, but Wal Mart had them cheaper - about $1 a pair!!

HTH!
