Ok, a few years ago, I bought a floatation device at walmart called a "whale tail." It was meant to go under your chest or stomach and it kinda cradled you there and you floated. It was curved but ,if made flat, would look like a stubby dogs bone or a whales tail(get it?,lol). It had a handle cut out on each side. It was made of that shiny plastic foam stuff that so many pool things are made of. It was firm but soft. We took it on vacation and used it to snorkel. Hubby and I each grabbed a handle and he tugged me along as we snorkeled. It was perfect because I can't swim. Of course, it didn't fit back into our luggage so we left it on the cruise and now we can't find it anywhere online now that we're going snorkeling again!!I would even take a kickboard at this point but none are as perfect as this was. You guys are my ace in the hole when frustration sets in and I am at a loss. Does anyone know what I am talking about??

I'm very frustrated as I know exactly what you're talking about but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere online! The only things I could find that maybe could be used for the same purpose are some of the pool chairs: http://www.backyardcitypools.com/Pool-Floats-Loungers.htm or an aqua saddle http://www.poolandspa.com/catalog/product826868.cfm My personal favourite is this but I don't think it's quite what you want! http://www.superdairyboy.com/pictures/bestway/animal_floats/spider640.jpg

Wow, Kitt!! That aqua saddle looks nearly just like the whale tail! What a great find. Thank you so much for looking AND knowing what I mean. I feel like I am the only one in the world who bought a flippin whale tail! It is frustrating, isn't it? It has been killing me for weeks now. Thanks again.

You're welcome! Glad it you think the saddle might work for you. Yes, things like that are so frustrating, when you know if you typed the right word into google it'd be there, you just can't find the right word! (Thanks MG )
