Flotation Swimsuit

Abstract

The floating swimsuit device is a unisex swimsuit with an inbuilt floatation device. It is an objective of the device to make swimmers more comfortable and feel safer in the water. To accomplish this, the device includes removable floatation panels that may be positioned within pockets on the swimsuit. The floatation panels may be removed or kept in pockets of the swimsuit depending on the weight, buoyancy requirements, and comfort level of the user. The floatation panels may be positioned along both a front surface and a rear surface of the swimsuit, thereby providing sufficient buoyancy. Further, a plurality of fasteners enables the floatation panels to be secured well within the pockets, as well as enables the user to wear the swimsuit with ease and comfort. Furthermore, the floatation panels may be of different levels of thickness, which make the device suitable for people of different preferences and dimensions.
