Testimonies: Results of Flotation Device Use Around Pools
Parents, have you used flotation devices with your kids a lot when at pools? Did they ever try to go back to the water without their device on right away, hours or days later? Did they tell you why they did it? We are collecting stories to use to help push research into the unintended effects of flotation device use with kids in pools. Below is a small sampling of some of those stories.
If you would like to share your story on our website, we would love to hear from you. We encourage you to include a photo with your submission as it helps to personalize the story. Links to videos are also encouraged and will be included in the story if at all possible. Please use the form at the bottom of this page to send us your story.
