Floating Swimwear

Abstract

The present invention provides a swimwear composed of a buoyant material. The swimwear, covering a portion of the torso and a portion of the legs or a user, allows for a uniform distribution of buoyancy. Furthermore, the construction of the buoyant material, comprising hexagonal low density polyethylene sheets composed of spandex layers and low-density polyethylene, provides buoyancy without limiting the mobility of the user. Stretchable spacing between the hexagonal low-density polyethylene sheets provides users with elasticity in a many directions.
