BLARIXGuard Inflatable Rescue Float

Got this as a prop for a lifeguard costume at Disney. Was stopped by the lifeguard supervisor as she had done a double take. This also came in handy when I got tired as I leaned on it

This is a somewhat thin vinyl - think pool toy. The inflator valve does not "fold in" to make it flush like many other vinyl inflatables. The strap is permanently attached to both ends, with a tri glide in the middle to adjust the length, rather than having the tail and loop that a proper float would have.I was surprised, it is more rigid than expected due to an extra seam down the center going lengthwise. It isn't made of hypalon or polyurethane; but I wouldn't expect it to be for the price point.It also inflates fairly quickly with lung power; so all in all, not a bad item to add to my boat.

Worked for what we needed it for our Baywatch Trick your Trunk theme.

Easy to blow up & nice to use a decor

We blew it up, it didn't take long and it's the perfect size for my 10 year old. This was not for a lifeguard, but for a lifeguard costume. It will be used as a toy come summertime, but as such it's great and the strap is long enough to have it hang across his back. Again, I bought it for a costume and it will be very authentic. I have no idea if it would work for lifeguard work or not.
