Discover in this exclusive article, the advantages of buying a float for your daughter and which baby girl float to choose based on her age, her familiarity with water, and her preferences.
The advantages of choosing an inflatable float for your daughter
All major perinatal specialists agree that baby swimming and learning to swim are excellent activities for the physical and psychological development of your child. Water games and pool games allow babies, both girls and boys, to discover their bodies and improve their motor skills.
Additionally, discovering a new environment like water creates adaptive behaviors in the child and boosts their self-confidence. Depending on your child's age, you may want to choose an inflatable float, swimming armbands, or a swim vest. These three flotation devices can also be used together, so the child can swim and play safely.

Float for girls aged 2 years and older
From this age and for efficient swimming learning, swimming armbands or floating swimsuits (often made of soft neoprene with integrated foam sheets) can also serve as effective inflatable accessories for your daughter's swims.
Indeed, they provide considerable freedom of movement for the child, allowing them to express their full potential. However, the child must already be well acquainted with the aquatic environment and have overcome any fear of water. From 5 years old, the classic foam float belt or the pool noodle are effective classics that will bring back good memories (or not!).
Choose models adapted to your child's weight to ensure good buoyancy.
Regarding the pool float, the seat float and the baby swimmer float are still relevant for children around 2 to 3 years old. Then, from 4 to 5 years old, it may be interesting to opt for models with more freedom of movement, such as inflatable pool mattresses, the classic swim ring, or other children's floats.
Buying a quality pool float for girls
Always choose a US-certified girl float. These products must meet certain quality requirements. Choosing a specialist in the field will ensure higher product quality and effective after-sales service.
Also, opt for floats with a universal inflation valve for quick inflation of your pool float. A standard electric pump will be perfect for quickly inflating and deflating your baby's float.
If you want to entertain your little one, consider models in the shape of animals like the flamingo with an umbrella or the glitter unicorn (also available in giant floats for adults)... These fun and quirky inflatable floats are very popular with young children.
