ABSTRACT:
A water exercise device to be worn by a person who is desirous of acquiring increased buoyancy while exercising in water. The device includes a waist-encircling band of flexible buoyant material such as elastomeric foam through which is intertwined a flexible and inextensible belt to be strapped around the user's wait. The buoyant band extends circumferentially behind the wearer from just forward of each hip where it terminates in an enlarged lobe portion. Thus the stomach and general body area in front of the wearer are free from interference and the buoyancy of the two lobe portions and interconnecting back band tend to raise the wearer to a vertical position as opposed to a naturally occurring forward face to the water position.
