What do your kids use for floatation help in the pool? 

We've got something like this for sprout (the body of the suit has floatation built in):

but its not cutting it because the floaty part is constantly hitting him in the face and its not boyant enough to ease his fears.  We are having such a struggle with getting him confident in the pool

We really don't use anything. We do have regular life vests, but we have the same problem of riding up and it takes a few seconds for them to stabilize in the water (and in the meantime, they go under a bit - which freaks them out.)  They are doing swimming lessons this summer through their school (4 days/week for 8 weeks) so I am hoping that will help them build up confidence (since right now they are fine as long as they can touch - but once I take them out to the big part of the pool, they cling to me for dear life!)

 I have read that these are great b/c they don't ride up.  They are made by Stearns and are coast guard approved flotation devices. they are called Puddle Jumpers
