This was my first project at university. The brief was to produce a product related to water. My group chose the topic of swimming and we eventually got onto the theme of a technique aiding float.
This product aims to mimic the action of first learning to swim when parents hold the child up and then they just practise the technique of kicking their arms and legs. The idea of this float is that it is designed to help children learn to swim at all stages of the learning process, for example when they first start to learn the float is used in full, with the child holding onto the handles and then just kicking their legs. However, as the child becomes more confident the idea is that they removes sections of the float, highlighted by the different coloured sections. This reduces buoyancy meaning the child has to rely more on their technique.
