Aquafit Upright Float

Triangular shaped ring with a large pillow. A velcro opening allows for waist adjustment. Provides underarm support as well as shoulder and neck support.

Easy to put on and take off. Offers stable support for trunk exercises.

Wearing this float is a personal thing re comfort. Some swimmers like floats that are more fitted and other swimmers like floats that are looser around their bodies. The Upright Float fits snugly into the body as the beads can be “plumped” in parts where more buoyancy or support is needed. It is a very comfortable float for swimmers who have difficulty in holding their heads up for any period of time and have a need for extra support behind the head, neck and shoulders. The large pillow enables the swimmer to remain in an upright position in the water and maintain eye contact with friends. An immensely sociable float.

Fits under the armpits of a swimmer just like a swim ring – so the important consideration is chest size when choosing the float.
