No kids in my boat either without a life jacket. I don't care if they can swim like a fish. The Jackets now days are made to fit comfortably, not like the old 4" thick ones. Tarkio has it right. Spend a couple of extra bucks on an Auto-Fill jacket. You can buy a re-fill cylinder and they can be used over and over. I never got a complaint from a kid about putting one on.
