I have a four year old and a six year old. Neither is a paticularly strong swimmer and with Karate and Skating it is not likely that they are going to get much pool time before next vacation.
I am considering introducing them to flotation supported snorkeling on our next vacation. If anyone has any links or recomendations for gear, training methods, or safety, I would like to see them.
I will have several other adults who are skilled ocean swimers nearby who will be happy to help. Recmondations for gear that works well for kids would be great.
Don,
Not sure where you'll be on vacation but it seems likely there'd be diving involved?
One of our granddaughters started learning snorkeling at Buddy's in Bonaire at age 6. She's now 13 and completed her 100th dive in Fiji last June.
I'd endorse Buddy's program 100%, plus the parents get to dive 1/2 day while the kid(s) are at Buddy Ranger camp.
My perspective... (No compensation - just a pleased grandfather)
