Abstract
A flotation device designed to support a person in a partially submerged position in a body of water includes a long narrow flexible main body member made of buoyant closed cell foam material. A first cylindrical float section, made of the same material, is attached to one end of the main body member. A second cylindrical section, also made of the same buoyant material, has a slot in it and slides over the second end of the main body member to frictionally engage the main body member to locate the second float section at various positions between the first and second ends of the main body member.
