Sleeves to learn to swim

These sleeves are not like the traditional ones. They are safer, since they are not at risk of being punctured and last all summer. They serve as training for children who are learning to swim, since they consist of three discs that can be removed as the child makes progress, feeling safe at all times.

It is suitable for babies from 6 to 18 kilos and has a seat belt through a clip that prevents the child from overturning or slipping from the float.

In turn, it serves as a training method since the child is placed in an ideal position to learn to swim. You can move your legs with total freedom. It is made of a resistant material and has five inflatable chambers. You find it on Amazon for 18.59 euros.

Toys

A set of water toys shaped like animals to play in the pool. But, eye, always pick them up when leaving the water, since a floating toy can cause an accident.
