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.

The biggest part of learning to swim is gaining confidence in water, and this is where these items come in useful. As they're available in a wide range of bright colours, whenever used the child immediately associates them with fun. They appear non threatening and so the child feels totally relaxed around them.

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.

On a long hot summer day the water looks so inviting. People are in and out of the water but those who are wary around water will often not get more than their feet wet, which is a shame. Some people get self conscious about using the old fashioned armbands and rings, but there are other options.

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.

Another thing to help with a hard days lazing is a floating tray. This will have been created in the same way as the raft. They are big enough to be useful, but small enough to prevent them being constantly in the way.

As you will agree these foam pool floats may be used in many different ways. With their bright cheerful colours any trip involving swimming will now have a fun filled party atmosphere. Due to their construction they are very hard wearing, and you will gain years of use from each piece. They can help people become swimmers which in turn might even save a life.
