ABSTRACT:
Self-propelled life vest for assisting a swimmer in water includes an inflatable body, the body being configured for being worn on a torso of a swimmer. An upper connector is provided and configured for connecting the body to an upper portion of a swimmer, in use. A lower connector is configured for connecting to a lower portion of a swimmer, in use. A propulsion unit on the vest is sufficiently strong for propelling a swimmer through water, in use. A power is operatively connected with the propulsion unit for powering the propulsion unit. An inflation control is provided on the body and operatively connects with the inflation device for inflating and deflating the inflation device, in use. A propulsion unit housing prevents the swimmer from contacting the propulsion unit, and directs inflow and outflow of propelled water, in use, for assisting in moving the swimmer in the desired direction.
