It’s summer, and a lot of us will be spending time at pools, lakes, and the ocean. Life jackets are a requirement for many activities, especially for little kids. Why not make wearing them fun for the kids – and for us, too. With the Sea Squirts life vests and swim assist vests from Opa Cove, you can turn your little swimmer into a Grrreat White Shark (shown), a Blue or Pink Dolphin, a Killa Whale, Clown Fish, or an Angelfish. The fins will fold flat so kids can sit comfortably on a boat seat or chair. The vests are sized for children and are available in Small/Medium/Large sizes. The life jackets are US Coast Guard approved and are $69.95; the swim assist vests serve as a learning aid for beginning swimmers and are $59.95. You can purchase the vests at the Opa Cove website, or you can check their list of retailers for a local or online vendor.

This reminds me of the scene in Jaws in which two kids with a cardboard fin are nearly shot by panicky deputies with rifles. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
@Vladimir Estragon I was thinking the same thing about the same movie! Not a good idea at the beach- swimming pool yeah, beach no :p
