No Flotation Devices Allowed
Approved flotation devices are allowed for handicapped persons only. A child has difficulty floating in a safe position because of the distribution of body weight and because a child tends to panic when suddenly in an unfamiliar environment. The violent movement of the arms and legs in an attempt to "climb out" of the water tends to nullify the stability of the flotation device. An approved device will keep a child afloat, but not always in a face up position. In addition, some children develop a strong dependency on the device. This dependence creates a false sense of security and delays the development of personal swimming competencies. Parents should note that flotation devices are not substitutes for adult supervision. The best way to keep your child safe in the water is with "hands on" the child.
