rubber ring

Circular swimming aid

A rubber ring is a circular band made of rubber, used for sealing, fastening, or holding things together.

In British English, a rubber ring is also an inflatable tube for floating in water—what Americans call an inner tube or pool float: The kids splashed around with their rubber rings.
