Swimming pool help

Jené • 23 years old married, mommy to a beautiful daughter 12-22-13 and handsome son 9-8-15.💜💙
My daughter is one an a half an we have a swimming pool. What are some of the floats that you moms have used that you like or didn't like. I'm clueless on what to get her to help her try to swim but to keep her a float. She hates me holding her, an I want her to be able to enjoy the pool this summer.

There's something called a puddle jumper I believe. It's one of the safest floatation devices because it has not back floatation which can be risky

My sister in law just introduced me to them and I'm definitely going to pick one up for my two year old!

Floaties were the cheapest and best solution for our daughter! Good luck!

We got my daughter a life vest before her first birthday to go swimming in and she loves it :) has been swimming on her own with her vest since the 3rd day we put her in it and she's two now :)

I always just used arm floaties with my daughter. She went all over that pool, jumping off diving board and everything at 1 year old. She's now 4 and can swim without anything.

Yes- puddle jumper but I think they have to be 25 or 30 lbs?? But yes, they're awesome. We used it last summer for our 2yo. This year he's learning to swim but we still put him in it sometimes.

Oh yeah I know what you mean, it's just she fights kicks and squirms in my arms and having a 28 week baby bump doesn't make things easy but I'll definitely look into one for you!

I think my guy was a little small when he started wearing it too but as long as you stay close, it can still be good. This year (almost 3 and maybe 35lbs??) it's awesome!!

Oh okay my daughter I believe is 26 pounds but she's got an appointment next month so I'll know for sure then! Thanks so much!
