Made of thin and precisely cut EVA foam sheets (6mm maximum) that are woven underneath the surface of the shirt in the areas of the back and chest, the swim aid provides enough foam to help the user stay buoyant enough to breath comfortably whilst learning how to swim.
Innovation The product concept aims to provide a slight buoyancy aid for adults who have not learned how to swim, by providing enough buoyancy as a regular pair of lungs would.
The concept doesn't aim to replace rescue vests, but rather provide one more option on the market for users learning for some light assistance when learning to swim.
Detail A swim shirt with integrated EVA foam sheets cut and placed strategically along the back and chest whilst allowing for comfortable and free movement of the arms for swimming.
Specification The product concept uses 0.8m^2 of embedded EVA foam in a swimming shirt to provide enough buoyancy to simulate a full pair of lungs.
The placement of foam allows for a more comfortable and maneuverable swimming experience than using a life vest.
The color of the swim shirt is variable, and the placement of foam was made for both adult male and female users.
