Claim 15:
16. A method of using a swim aid device comprising a belt having a rigid hoop portion including a first tab and a second tab, a front end and an opposite back end wherein the back end comprises an opening and wherein the belt is biased in a first closed position and operatively openable to a second open position, one or more buoyant elements couplable to said back end of the belt and securable in place with said tabs wherein a buoyancy of the one or more buoyant elements allows an object to remain afloat and wherein the one or more buoyant elements are substantially cylindrical and further include a handle couplable to said tabs, wherein the one or more buoyant elements are hydrodynamically shaped and placeable about a back of the object such that said device allows for swimming training and allows the object to remain in a swimming position, and wherein the one or more buoyant elements further comprise an indentation thereby allowing a clearance of the tabs and securing said one or more buoyant elements to the belt; the method comprising the steps of:
i) opening the belt of the swim aid device and securing said swim aid device around the object;
ii) allowing said swim aid device to regain its biased first closed position;
iii) positioning the back end of the swim aid device and the one or more buoyant elements along one side of the object; and
iv) allowing the object to entering a body of water with the swim aid device and remain afloat.
