METHOD FOR USING A GLIDABLE AQUATIC GARMENT

A method for using a glidable aquatic garment for sliding on a floor of a swimming pool includes providing a pair of socks including a first sock and a second sock. The first and second socks are positioned on feet of a user of the pair of socks. Each sock has a bottom surface comprising a silicone material being capable of gliding upon a vinyl material of a floor of a swimming pool containing water. Each of the first and second socks has an ankle portion being extendable over a respective ankle of the user. The user of the pair of socks enters the swimming pool containing water and abuts the socks upon the floor of the swimming pool to glide the feet upon said pool floor.

The prior art relates to socks and includes a variety of socks comprising a rubber material to prevent slippage. Known prior art does not include a sock comprising a silicone material and being capable of gliding on a floor of a swimming pool containing water.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a method including the steps of providing a pair of socks including a first sock and a second sock. The first and second socks are positioned on feet of a user of the pair of socks. Each sock has a bottom surface comprising a silicone material being capable of gliding upon a vinyl material of a floor of a swimming pool containing water. Each of the first and second socks has an ankle portion being extendable over a respective ankle of the user. The user of the pair of socks enters the swimming pool containing water and abuts the socks upon the floor of the swimming pool to glide the feet upon said pool floor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS.1through6, a glidable aquatic garment10generally comprises a pair of socks12including a first sock12A and a second sock12B. The pair of socks12is positionable on feet14of a user16of the socks12. Each sock12has a bottom surface18comprising a silicone material20being capable of gliding upon a vinyl material22of a floor24of a swimming pool26containing water. Each sock12may be elastic and may be capable of conforming to the feet14of the user16of the sock12. Each of the socks12has an ankle portion28being extendable over a respective ankle30of the user16. The ankle portion28may comprise the silicone material20or another conventional rubber material being elastic. The ankle portion28typically has an opening32into an interior44of the sock12. The opening32may have a diameter34from 1.50 inches to 2.50 inches, and the diameter34will typically be 2.00 inches. Each sock12may have a height36measured from the bottom surface18to the opening32. The height36may be from 11.0 inches to 13.0 inches, and the height36will typically be 12.0 inches. Each sock12has a thickness38measured from an exterior surface40to an interior surface42of each sock12. The thickness38may be from 0.282 inches to 0.469 inches, and the thickness38will typically be 0.375 inches.

In use, the first12A and second12B socks are positioned on the feet14of the user16of the pair of socks12. The user16enters the swimming pool26containing water and abuts the socks12upon the floor24of the swimming pool26to glide the feet14upon the pool floor24. After use, the user16may remove the pair of socks12while in the swimming pool26to prevent injury from slipping on a surface after exiting the swimming pool26while wearing the pair of socks12.
