Toddler life jackets or floatation devices?

[Fall1]

What does everyone do for your small children/toddler in the pools at WDW? Last year we held our DC, but this year I know they'll want a little freedom in the pool.

We are staying at the BC and they are pretty comfortable in the water (have taken swimming lessons, tons of time in pools). Do you bring your own items, rent there?

Thanks!!

Someone might know about BC specifically but at Pop they had life vests for use, no charge. They were great and that's what we used for ds.

If BC doesn't have them, I'd suggest a 'puddle jumper'. They're great too.

We bring our own. My DD loves the Puddle Jumper, too!

I thought about buying the Puddle Jumper, maybe we'll bring those?! Do they take up lots of suitcase room? Thanks!

BC and all the Disney resort have life vests free of charge.

Both of our kids used Safe T. Seal swimwear. I love them because they step into them they have support on both sides and their arms are free. I think a child is at a greater risk when their arms are contained to something, plus how do they learn how to swim if they can't use their arms. My kids were 2 and 3 when we got them.

I think they were $14.99 at Target. If I knew how to post a link to them I would.

Are they like this? Thanks!

I guess each resort is different

At Pop and they were at the side of the pool for anyone to use

At Wilderness Lodge you had to go to the marina with your room card to get one

I'm not sure where they are available at BC but they are sure to have them.
