arm floats

Swimmer's inflatable supports

Arm floats are inflatable bands worn around the upper arms to help children or weak swimmers stay buoyant in water.

They come in pairs and are slipped on like sleeves, then inflated by mouth: She put arm floats on her toddler before they went in the pool.

Also called water wings or swimmies.
