The Summer Essentials Item You Need To Own

This post was sponsored by SwimWays as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

I grew up in Arizona. Everyone owned a pool and pool parties were a part of of the lifestyle. Along with the popularity of pool parties, came an increase in childhood drownings. It got so bad at one point that the local fire department automatically patrolled neighborhoods, just waiting to be nearby. My Mom feared for our lives and kept us away from pools to be on the safe side.

I’ll always thank my Mom for her protection and everyday I strive to protect my kids from hidden dangers too. However, that doesn’t mean I’m going to avoid family fun and making memories.

What’s different between her protecting me & now me protecting my kids?

I’ve taught them about water safety, instilled confidence in them and I use my #1 summer essentials item: our SwimWays Swim Trainer.

How SwimWays Helps Your Kids Feel Confident

We’ve had my oldest son enrolled in swim lessons since he was 18 months old. However, that doesn’t mean we forgo extra protection around the water. We always bring along our SwimWays Swim Trainer, whether it’s the pool, beach or lake.

SwimWays is dedicated to teaching families the importance of water safety – they’re an industry leader. They offer an entire line of products that’s divided into different stages, depending on your child’s size and swim capabilities. It’s called the “SwimWays Swim Steps” and you can find the collection of products at your local Walmart.

SwimWays Swim Trainers Are Designed To Help Your Child

They gave me our Swim Trainer in exchange for my honest review, and I liked it so much, that I purchased a second one for my youngest son. The adjustable buckle ensures a great fit – just check your child’s weight against the product recommendations!

I can see that my kids feel more confident when wearing one and it offers me some added peace of mind. It doesn’t diminish the importance of learning to swim, but aids in the process. The bouyance gives them support, in the water, to keep them safe. The built-in chest and arm flotation is designed for greater mobility in the water.

My son loves his Swim Trainer because it showcases his favorite Paw Patrol characters. The Paw Patrol Swim Trainer Life jacket is also a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device for kids (weighing 30-50 lbs). The Paw Patrol Swim Trainer Life Jacket is Step 2 in SwimWays Swim Steps.

We Are Using Our SwimWays All Summer Long

Even if we’re not in the water and the family is just hanging out near the water, I keep my boys in their SwimWays. It’s truly the #1 summer essential item I recommend. You can purchase SwimWays to keep on your boat, in your pool bag and never leave for the beach without it
