Did you ever try water wings, floaties when swimming?

Question

Did you ever try to swim using floaties, does it help,i need some assistance and i know that floaties for adults exists, i thing it will be a good idea, do you know someone using them?

Answer 1

I used water wings for years growing up, even after I could swim fairly well. Contrary to what others say, they aren't nearly as dangerous as they are made out to be. I can remember swimming in 10-12+ swells and I think if anything my water wings kept me from drowning. And no, I NEVER had a pair slip off! The main problem is that there isn't really a true adult size. The German Co. Bema did make some for several years, and they did work great.
