armband
Upper limb band
An armband is a band worn around the upper arm, typically to signal something—mourning (black), team membership, or official status like a captain's armband in soccer.
Armbands may also be inflatable devices worn by children learning to swim: She put the armbands on her daughter before they got in the pool.
