Baby swimming aids

[supergolden88]

Going on holiday in a couple of weeks visiting my family in Greece. We will be swimming in the sea weather permitting.

Baby boy has never been swimming before (various colds etc prevented us from ever going to the pool) was wondering what's best as floating/swim aid. My daughter wears inflatable water wings but think they will be too bulky on baby and possibly agravate his sensitive eczema prone skin.

Any ideas what to get and where from?

thanks!

We used this - floaties

and were happy with it

Baby was 5m at the time, but is supposed to be good up to 1 year

I was trying to sell mine last year - can't remember if I managed it in the end or possibly still in loft in a box somewhere

I can have a look if you would like to borrow/buy
