Foam Pool Floats Are Fun For All

By Amanda Baird


Now that the long hot summer days are here, and the children are away from school people tend to think how to fill the days. No summer would be complete without trips for swimming. Even if you have children who are unable to swim at the moment help is at hand. It involves making use of foam pool floats.

Gaining confidence in the water is the biggest hurdle, and these items really can help. These pieces come in a rainbow assortment of colours, so any child seeing them will naturally think of fun and games. As they seem to carry no threat a child will feel completely relaxed.

It doesn't take long for the child to join in with the fun in the water. One definite bonus with these new items is that they will not deflate when you least expect them to, unlike their inflatable predecessors. Thanks to the material that they are formed from they have a natural buoyancy, and consequently provide an ideal aid to someone less than sure around water.

During the long hot days of summer the water does seem very appealing. You will notice people in and out of the water enjoying themselves, but there will also be others who are only paddling. Sometimes people see the inability to swim as a bit of a stigma, but are reluctant to use armbands or rings, but other devices can be used.

Maybe you will have seen small children wearing a buoyancy jacket. These jackets can have buoyancy aids fitted into different chambers. As the child gets more water confidence the aids can be removed one at a time. In time all that is left is the jacket on its own and the child is happily floating and swimming without any assistance.

An older child, or even an adult, might prefer to utilise something called a noodle. These are long thin floatation aids. They can be used by laying them across the chest and under the armpits in a 'U' shape. Dependent upon how much buoyancy is needed the number of noodles can vary. As the person is now supported they can now enjoy getting totally wet.

Not everything poolside revolves around swimming, sometimes people want to just relax. Many will remember the old style inflatable air mattresses. Now there are vinyl coated rafts of varying sizes, some also have a very convenient head rest built into them for additional comfort. They can be used either in the water or on dry land.

For those wishing a day with minimum interruptions there are also floating trays. These are just smaller versions of the rafts. They will be big enough to be useful, but not so large that they get in the way.

It is easy to see just how versatile these foam pool floats are. With their bright colours they seem to invite fun. They are robust enough that you will be able to get plenty of use from them over the years. Even if they only help one person learn to swim that is one less potential drowning victim.
