I for one enjoy the function of traditional learn-to-swim devices, but I hate the way they look and the cheap way they are made. I can’t tell you how many ugly, stinky, plastic contraptions covered with cartoon characters my girls have accumulated over the years. I can say that probably all of them have eventually popped. The Schlori Swim Cushion is a great alternative. First of all, these German swim cushions are made from 100% cotton–so they look nice, and are naturally durable. They are also available in fun prints that are anything but garish. Better yet, they are free from harmful chemicals.
The product is made from two pillows that curround your child and help him or her swim without impeding motion. When I first picked up the product, I was worried that it might use complicated to use, but I found that it is anything but. We are going on a mini-vacation next month and this will defintiely be coming along. You can check out the Schlori Swim Cushion, watch a video, and purchase one for $28 at http://www.peaceloveorganicearth.com/SCHLORI.html. While it costs more than the plastic ones, it will outlive them all.
