Is your little boy eagerly waiting for summer vacation, and you want to prepare your activities for this summer? You are in the right place, water activities are very popular among children during the summer season, especially among little boys.
Often fearless and full of energy, our boys need to let off steam outdoors. Pool games and water games are perfect for calming them down and helping them stay in good physical shape.
However, the aquatic environment can be dangerous, and it is important to secure your little one's swim by equipping him with stylish baby floats, swim armbands, or float suits. What are the benefits of using a boy's float rather than armbands or a float suit? What are the best boy's float models to choose this year?
Let's answer these questions together and choose the most suitable boy's pool float.
The advantages of an inflatable boy's float compared to armbands and float suits
It's no secret that water play and learning to swim are great activities for developing a little one's motor skills and giving him full confidence. Pediatricians recommend water games and inflatable floats for all the benefits they provide:
- Aquatic and physical awakening 👶: The earlier the child discovers his body, the more natural physical abilities he will have.
- Ideal learning of swimming 🏊: The inflatable boy's float is an appropriate tool for learning to swim safely and with confidence.
- Reassurance for parents ✔️: Even though every parent should act as a lifeguard during each swim by carefully watching their child, the boy's float adds an extra level of safety, reassuring for parents.
The pool float allows the child to discover the water serenely. Depending on the model chosen, he is either seated (a reassuring position for him) or in a natural swimming position at 40°. These positions are stable and secure. The risk of tipping backward and drowning is therefore greatly reduced.
The baby neck float, for example, ideal for discovering the aquatic environment from 4 months, completely eliminates the risk of tipping.
On the other hand, armbands or swim vests and float suits give the child much more freedom. He can perform all desired movements without particular constraints. However, these inflatable devices are riskier and are exclusively intended for children from 2 to 3 years old, who are truly comfortable in the water and have good body control.
