floatie
Inflatable swim aid
A floatie is an inflatable device that keeps you buoyant in water—the arm bands children wear while learning to swim, or a pool toy you lounge on.
The word is casual and often childish: Don't forget your floaties!
In toilet humor, a floatie is a piece of feces that won't flush.
