Moving right along... eventhough we're at the end of summer as summer almost over here, the temperature outside still considered challenging especially during the day. So partly from the kids activities beside running around and driving me crazy was swimming. Sadly to say, they still do need help from floating devices as of they're not able to swim by themselves just yet.
Synchronized with the girls progress and side effects each devices gave out, our floating devices had somehow evolved.
:: Beginner stage ::
First and foremost. Normal inflatable pelampung. Comes in many sizes and designs up to your liking. Anyway, we didn't bought this as the yellow car-theme pelampung was a hands down from Ridzuan's kids. The green dinasour one belongs to Mami & Ati. They dun have swimming pool at their apartment hence they always come to our house and use ours. They left their swimming gears at our place so they dun have to bring it everytime they feel like swimming. We can use it anytime we want of course. Sharing is caring basis !
Pro : Quite stable and suitable to built water confident in your kids. Specially for kids with fear for water.
Cons : Need adult supervision all the time as the floaties could easily capsized. At least one adult need to tailgate them everywhere they float.
:: One level after beginner - ARM FLOATIES ::
Very handy and mobilize. As shame as I can be, I only found out how good and reliable this floater are during our trip to Club Med, Cherating. Of course I've seen this type before, it just that I never had a thought to buy it.
Pro : Kids can roam freely on their own with minimum supervision. Adults can do their own things while monitoring the kids.
Cons : After using it for a while, it will tend to give blister to their arms and causing unpleasant experience. They'll start feeling very uncomfortable and in pain once the blister started to appear.
:: Intermediate stage ::
It functioned just like normal life jacket do. It will gave more space for the kids to do stroke. However, this life jacket doesn't really fit tightly and embraced nicely on their bodies the way floaties did to their arm resulting to quite uncomfortable outcome. I kinda understand the feeling as I used to be active in water sports during my teen age. Cheap life jacket especially the one that doesn't fit your size will tend to choke you and it's rather difficult to move as you need to struggle with the life jacket and the water. I noticed it's very difficult for them to swim on their back with this life jacket on hence very limited style and movement allowed. Zero fun ! My girls doesn't like it and prefer arm floaties compared to this one.
:: Latest gadget ::
The arm floaties that attached to their swimming suit. 2 in 1 concept. Quite cool huh ! So far the best and most likable by Alis and Erin. The foam was covered with soft fabric that doesn't caused blister no matter how long they've been swimming. Excuse the shocking pink and yellow. That's the only color left for their size. I kinda like the pink and purple combination one. Unfortunately, it's not available in their size.
Pro : Hassle free as you dun have to bring so many things. Just the towel and juices and you're off to go. Before this, I had pretty handful on every swimming session as I need to bring few types of pelampung ( coz once the arm floaties started to give blister, I will switched it with others) , their swimming suits, their towels, their drinks and so on.
Cons : The fabric for swimming suits was too nipis. When it came close contact with water, it will produced a very " sexy" see through image. Abes montot, perut dan pepets anak anak dara aku ter-exposed hahahahha... But hey !!! they're still small so it's still allowable I guess. If they swim with other people, outsider I meant, I will ask Alis and Erin to wear their swimming shorts outside their swimming suits. More decent looking and lebih manis. Regardless them still being a toddler, it's never too early to nurture the value that women should menutup aurat when the time comes. What else with scary dog eat dog world we had out there these days. May Allah protect my girls from any bad evil intentions.
