ABSTRACT:
A buoyancy aid wearable as a swimming cap in its uninflated condition and usable as a buoyancy aid in an inflated condition including a cap defining means configurable in its to be worn condition preferably to have one part thereof within another part thereof, the cap defining means including at least one inflatable chamber. An inflation unit is preferably carried by the cap defining means and is actuable to inflate the inflatable chamber(s). The outcome upon actuation of the inflation unit will be or is, should the inflated condition be achieved, that the inflatable chamber(s) configures (configure) the cap defining means to a form no longer wearable as a cap and with the one part no longer within the another part. The cap defining means when in its fully inflated form preferably has a configuration that is substantially that of an unshelled peanut therefor, with a waisted region. The inflation unit preferably uses a gas reservoir capable of releasing gas under pressure.
