Swim bubble - where to buy?

We just booked a last minute trip for next weekend. The hotel we're staying at has in indoor pool that I'd like to use with DS. He's been in swimming classes at the Y and is doing really well but can't swim on his own. I'm looking to buy a "bubble" or back float for him. I found this on amazon but it's not available to expedited shipping and I'm not confident we'll get it in time for our Friday departure.


(We live in Wantagh and I work in the city if that helps with store locations.)

TIA!

back float

I dont have an answer, but a question. Why a back float and not the inflatable arm things?
I remember having a back bubble when I was a kid and HATED it. granted it was 30 years ago, but i remember it always made my face go into the water.

I would recommend a Puddle Jumper instead. They have them in stock at BBB right now. Or you can get them on Amazon too with free shipping:

Puddle Jumper

These are recommended for kids by life guards.

A back bubble is what they use in his class at the Y and what he is comfortable with. The arm things restrict your movement and don't allow a natural stroke.
