ABSTRACT:
A flotation device worn on the ankle and a related method for its use. The device is a sleeve of resilient, cellular material providing only small buoyancy, but because the device is located at a relatively great distance from the body's center of buoyancy, it has the effect of maintaining the swimmer's legs in a near-horizontal floating position, even if the person does not float naturally in this position. Use of the device greatly facilitates the teaching of floating and survival techniques to beginning swimmers, and various swimming strokes to all swimmers.
