They have these pool things for kids. They look like a bright yellow floattube that uses a wheelbarrow tube. Should be able to tether one up, use a heavy plastic bag and some sweats for waders, and he's ready to go. I used to teach kids swimming, so probably not this year, but definitely the next he'll be out there.

BTW, I got an 8' Seeker Classic 15-40lb in celebration of the event. Just think of it as a big e-glass cigar.
