Swimming Aids For Aged

[cheeryble]

Hi there

My great friend aged 85 and not a fit 85 but ambulatory (slow) just survived another bout in hospital this time with bad flu which really gets his chest which ain't good at the best of times.

He is now kinda back on his feet and would like to swim or walk around in the water and I agree wholeheartedly.

He asked if I knew where we could buy a buoyancy aid to help him.

We are in CM. I have asked in an appliance shop near Maharat and in

Sportsworld in Central, no luck.

Anywhere in CM or even a link to BKK would be appreciated.

Thanks

In Australia they use pool noodles in the rehab pools. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Noodle-Pool-Swimming-Aid-1/dp/B003L29F8M

vests are very awkward and may not be suitible.

Thanx for the idea, may be good, but won't buy that particular one. I've never actually read a review of anything this bad ha-ha:

1.0 out of 5 stars pool noodle June 20, 2012

When I purchased this noodle, the ad was very misleading. Thought I was getting a box of noodles - no idea on number of noodles in a box, but since it's original price was over $68 and now only $11.97, I thought it was a good deal. Read one review of how the customer was disappointed in how they were shipped, but since the price was right, I thought it was worth the trouble. What I received was one small noodle that sells for $1.88 at Walmart. I see they have since changed their ad to correct their previous flagrantly dishonest ad. Would never again buy from this seller.

The picture make these appear to be the large almost solid noodles but they are not. Noodle is only 2 1/4" thick and will not support an adult

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible product, very misleading December 26, 2012

The picture for this product shows a tiny hole going through the center of an "Original Fun Noodle". The hole is huge and the noodle won't even hold my two year old above water. Horribly disappointed with this product. I originally decided to purchase it as we live in Alaska and the free shipping was enticing, however the box came in nearly two pieces and although the noodle was intact, one 45 minute swim session at our local pool left it in two pieces as it's so flimsy it tore in half.
