buoyancy aids

Buoyancy aids are devices designed to help keep a person afloat in water by providing additional buoyant force. They are typically made from lightweight, buoyant materials that displace water, reducing the risk of drowning. Unlike life jackets that are designed for rescue situations with multiple safety features, buoyancy aids are often used for recreational activities like boating or water sports, offering support to keep the wearer’s head above water, but they may not provide full body immersion protection. They are essential safety gear that enhances confidence and safety in aquatic environments.
