Hydrotherapy: Taking Non-Swimmers Swimming on a Sectional Raft!
If your child gets cold because part of his or her torso is above the waterline, get a towel wet and lay it over the exposed part. Your child will feel more comfortable. Pick the Sectional Raft for children (or adults) with poor or no neck and upper body control who will be in the water but not "swimming".
