Abstract:
1. In a child flotation swimsuit comprising a child flotation device having strategically targeted buoyancy to provide a natural feeling of buoyancy, the child flotation device comprising: a layer of buoyant material having a first thickness to provide general buoyancy; a plurality of enhanced buoyancy regions integrated with the layer of buoyant material to provide enhanced buoyancy relative to the general buoyancy provided by the buoyant material; wherein the enhanced buoyancy regions comprise a buoyant material having a thickness greater than the first thickness and that extends outwardly from the first layer of buoyant material such that the buoyant material layer and enhanced buoyancy regions define a contour profile; and the thickness of at least one of the enhanced buoyancy regions being reduced based on a substantially uniform thickness associated with the buoyant material such that the contour profile has a sleek appearance.
