Arm Band (in Water Safety):
An arm band — also called a water wing or floatie — is an inflatable band worn around the upper arms to help keep a person (usually a child) afloat in the water.
Uses:
Swimming Aid: Helps beginners, especially kids, stay above water while learning to swim.
Confidence Builder: Gives new swimmers extra confidence in shallow pools or water play areas.
Safety Support: Reduces the risk of sinking during casual water activities, though it's not a replacement for a life jacket.
Fun and Freedom: Allows children to move their arms and play freely while still being supported.
