pool noodle
Buoyant swim tube
A pool noodle is a long, flexible cylinder of buoyant foam used as a flotation device or toy in swimming pools.
Children use them to stay afloat; adults drape them under their arms while lounging.
The foam construction makes them soft enough to whack someone without injury, which they inevitably do.
