초록 ▼

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a flotation device suited to teach beginner swimming techniques or provide enjoyment in an aquatic environment while providing flotation to at least a portion of the swimmer's body. The flotation device for aiding a swimmer in a body of water may comprise a body formed from an extruded foam and comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side rail, a second side rail, a leading lateral surface, and a trailing lateral surface, and wherein the extruded foam is a flexible cellular foam. The presently disclosed subject matter also relates to methods of making the flotation device.

1. A flotation apparatus, comprising: a body formed from an extruded foam having a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension where the lateral dimension is less than the longitudinal dimension, the body comprising: a first surface having a central first channel extending longitudinally along the body;a second surface having a pair of second channels extending longitudinally along the body and a central protrusion positioned between and longitudinally parallel to the pair of second channels, wherein the body has a thickness adjacent the pair of second channels that is greater than a thickness between the central first channel and the central protrusion;a leading lateral surface having a curved shape;a trailing lateral surface having a shape reciprocal to the curved shape of the leading lateral surface;a first longitudinal side rail; anda second longitudinal side rail parallel to the first longitudinal side rail in at least the longitudinal direction, wherein the first and second longitudinal side rails are longer than the leading and trailing lateral surfaces,wherein the leading and trailing lateral surfaces are cut surfaces and the first and second surfaces and the first and second longitudinal side rails are extruded surfaces. 2. The flotation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the extruded foam is a flexible cellular foam. 3. The flotation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the extruded foam is a flexible cellular organic polymeric material configured to not rupture within 60 seconds when a specimen of the flexible cellular organic polymeric material with dimensions of 8 inches by 1 inch by 1 inch is bent around a 1 inch diameter mandrel at a uniform rate of one lap in 5 seconds in the form of a helix at a temperature between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. 4. The flotation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flotation apparatus has a longitudinal stiffness along a longitudinal axis of the flotation apparatus greater than a lateral stiffness along a lateral axis of the flotation apparatus. 5. The flotation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the top surface is shaped such that the plurality of curves extending across the top surface of the body are substantially reciprocal to the plurality of curves extending across the bottom surface of the body. 6. The flotation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises: a top skin,a bottom skin,a first side rail skin, anda second side rail skin. 7. The flotation apparatus of claim 6, wherein the top skin, the bottom skin, the first side rail skin, and the second side rail skin are configured to be substantially impermeable to fluids. 8. The flotation apparatus of claim 6, wherein the body, the top skin, the bottom skin, the first side rail skin, and the second side rail skin are unitary.
