Abstract
An apparatus for controlling pitch or yaw attitudes of a toy in a fluid includes a body and a float movably mounted to the body. The position of the float relative to the body can be changed to modify the pitch or yaw attitudes of the body in the fluid. The body can also be equipped with a member to propel the body in the fluid, and a fluid projector which propels fluid from the body. A driver can be connected to the float, the member, and the fluid projector so that the body alternately swims and treads water, and projects fluid while treading water.
