A water toy apparatus includes an elongated buoyant torso having first and second ends. A head is defined on the first end of the torso. First and second arms are connected to an intermediate location on the torso. The first and second arms include first and second manually squeezable pump bulbs each of which has an inlet and an outlet. A discharge conduit has a first end communicated with the outlets of the first and second pump bulbs, and has a second end terminating in the head, so that upon squeezing the pump bulbs water is squirted out of the head.

[ What is claimed:] [10.] A water toy apparatus, comprising:an elongated buoyant torso having first and second ends;a head defined on the first end of the torso;first and second arms connected to an intermediate location of the torso, the first and second arms including first and second manually squeezable pump bulbs each of which has an inlet and an outlet; anda discharge conduit having a first end communicated with the outlets of the first and second pump bulbs, and having a second end terminating in the head, so that upon squeezing the pump bulbs water is squirted out of the head. [16.] A method of operating a water toy comprising:(a) providing a water toy having an elongated flexible buoyant member, a head portion, first and second arms which serve as handgrips, a flow path defined through the buoyant member with an inlet at one end of the flow path and an outlet at the other end of the flow path in the head portion, and a manual pump chamber disposed in each arm of the toy and communicated with the flow path;(b) supporting a human upon the elongated flexible buoyant member in a body of water so that the inlet is submerged in the body of water and the outlet is located above the body of water, with the human astride the elongated flexible buoyant member with the human gripping the handgrips and with the head portion of the water toy extending above the body of water;(c) squeezing the manual pump chamber to squirt water out of the outlet in the head portion;(d) during step (c), preventing backflow of water out of the inlet;(e) releasing the manual pump chamber; and(f) drawing water through the inlet to refill the manual pump chamber.
