Transition from armbands to swimming

[lau86]

My daughter is 2 and is a fish in the water, she is very confident. She uses blow up arm bands as the disks are too big for her arms. I don't want to push her to swim without them but equally when she is ready I don't want her relying on them. Does anyone have tips on how they transitioned from arm bands to swimming? My sons were both older so only did this in swimming lessons

With my eldest we just gradually put less air into the armbands, and then tried without them.
