A child aged 4 to 6 years old can typically use any type of flotation accessory for kids during aquatic activities. However, the range of available options can be narrowed down depending on the activity to be practiced. This could be a simple swim at the pool or swimming lessons for kids under the supervision of an instructor. A children's pool float is a must-have for aquatic activities and, of course, for learning to swim.
Moreover, starting from this age, swimming armbands and swim vests can be a wise choice for learning to swim and exploring the aquatic environment. You can also opt for a baby inflatable float in the shape of a ring.
For the younger ones (between 0 and 2 years), neck floats for babies and a baby float with a sunshade are the types of floats suited for purely fun use. The models to be worn around the neck offer more freedom to the rest of the body. The baby can thus splash and float freely in the pool water, safely. The seat floats have a comfortable seat and an integrated backrest for a good time of relaxation on the water.
You can combine this inflatable toy with other water games such as an inflatable pool, a paddling pool... And equip the little one with a floating swimsuit, a Bestway life jacket. Do not leave them unsupervised, of course.
A floating ring or a swimmer float for babies are more suited for learning to swim. The floating ring is recognizable by its design similar to that of a small float ship. This shape gives it better penetration on the water's surface. The swimmer float has the same shape as a floater but has additional floaters to simplify swimming on the stomach. Enough to have fun as a family, along with an adult giant float!
The float allows babies aged 4 and up to work on their balance during baby swimming lessons. It enhances their safety during swimming at the pool or in other public spaces. It also gives them more freedom to build their self-confidence.
Baby swimming lessons are simplified swimming lessons tailored to the needs of babies. They are accessible from 4 months old and can be practiced until the age of 6. Beyond this age, the child can continue their learning through real swimming lessons. The sessions last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the age of the participating children. Discover our collection of baby floats for 1-year-olds as well.
The use of a baby inflatable float is allowed from the age of 15 months to help the child maintain their balance on the water's surface. This is a difficult exercise, and the constant support of the float helps greatly in achieving it. The particular shape of swimmer and floating rings also prevents the child from tipping over while working on their balance.
Consider a floating swimsuit for children or a swim vest when your toddler reaches the age of 2 and is comfortable in the water.
A child aged 4 and up can already develop good swimming performance through baby swimming lessons, equipped with inflatable armbands. This does not mean they can be left to swim unsupervised. All children's swimming must always be supervised by an adult. However, adult supervision alone is not enough to ensure a child's safety in the water.
This issue is particularly present in public pools. The instructor cannot give full attention to every child in the pool. Parents should have their children wear a float to enhance their safety. The float keeps the child afloat even when the instructor's back is turned, thus reducing the risk of drowning.
Childhood is the age of learning and discovery. Children aged 4 to 6 are eager to learn new things, especially on their own. Aquatic activities are among those they wish to experience alone. The idea is not to eliminate all supervision but to give them more freedom in their experience.
Using a float is a way to give them this extra freedom in aquatic activities. The float allows the child to move around in the water, even if they do not know how to swim. This autonomy of action increases their self-confidence and helps them build the foundations of a solid personality for the rest of their life.
Animal-shaped baby floats are the ideal type of float for an afternoon of relaxation around the pool. They will delight children with their energetic colors and the fantasy of animal images. The following models are the most representative of these concepts in a children's pool float:
A small inflatable float with armbands is the ideal concept to ensure a child's safety during swimming. It is a belly float to which two armbands are attached, like on the belly float with armbands for children. The advantage of this concept is to provide great buoyancy to the child while giving them more freedom of movement.
In general, even if the aquatic environment is an excellent setting for learning to swim, developing the child's physical abilities, and achieving their aquatic awakening, it remains a dangerous environment due to the risk of drowning.
It is important to keep this in mind and remain attentive during the first swims. Additionally, the fear of water (aquaphobia) can be present in some children. Therefore, it is important to introduce them to this environment gradually.
The kids' aquatic vest is the most common form of safety accessory float for any water activity. The pool float vest is a specific variation of this type of accessory for swimming in a pool. The float vest is comfortable and non-bulky. It is particularly suited for swimming in a shallow pool.
Our pool floats for kids are comfortable. They are designed for children aged 4 and up and are resistant and stable throughout this age range. The buoyancy is well-studied and perfectly suited for the aquatic activities of young children.
Put on their swimsuit, inflate their float, let your child ride it and grab its handles, and then watch your little one splash around outdoors in the sun with confidence. Stay by their side, like a real lifeguard, to supervise and encourage them!
