The floaties you're talking about are called noodles... and yes they're quite long but don't take long to be moulded around the body thereby taking up not much more room than a normal undorned with noodle body.
Both time we took our noodles we have always taken them back to our room with us after a pool visit. And often hvae had to fight the adults to get them back for when the kids want to use them.
I for one never leave my child unattended whether they have flotation devices on or not. And at all time if my youngest was playing with a noodle she also had arm bands on. Arm bands alone I find are not a suitable floatation device often causing the child to fall forwards, a noodle in front counteracted this problem.
