Floaties or other swimming aids for a 14 month old?

Swimming lessons start from 3 months. Around aged 2.5 is when they go to lessons independent from their parents.

Yeah, I know. We started it with DS at three months. The instructor where I go says at 15 months tho they ate able to move thru the water on their own, with an adult near obviously.

The best thing Ive seen by far are the little life jackets for kids. My friend has one for her 3yr old as they go out in the boat too.
They hold the kids upright in the water with their head out if they get into trouble & they still let the kids use their arms to manouver unlike floaties.
