ABSTRACT:
A floatation aid for swimmers, formed of a pair of relatively thin, resilient, buoyant, generally diamond shaped sheets of a size for arrangement upon and for extending over a substantial portion of the length of the front and rear surfaces of a human torso. Straps extend between the upper corners of the sheets over the wearer's shoulders. The lower corners of the sheets are interconnected by a crotch strap which includes a separate elongated strip of similar buoyant sheet material. A horizontal waist band extends around the middle of the wearer's body and the wider portion of the sheets and interconnects the adjacent sheet corners. The device provides limited floatation aid, but leaving the wearer's arms, shoulders and hip and leg areas uncovered and unrestricted for swimming type activities.
