I took my kids as soon as I could... but two were already in their teens (hey!  I was in the Navy, and we didn't live anywhere near Lake Country).  But now I'm a new grandfather, and would like to take the wee one (and her mother would love to go as well!).

Practical question:  How does one ensure the safety of a toddler that doesn't swim yet?  Are there such things as pfd's for such small critters?
