Watery Wednesday

Sylvan Lake, Alberta, August 2010. These balls which now serve as amusement on the lake are inflatable and hold enough oxygen for 6 hours if you are still or 2 hours if you are thrashing about. They were developed by the military to serve as aids to ocean rescues. They make for great fun on a hot summer day! In the background is the water park.

    Those floating balls do look like fun. It is interesting how something developed for a serious task has been adopted/adapted for a fun one!

    Dear anonymous, I don't know if there are weight and size limits. You'd have to check at the waterpark at Sylvan Lake.
