Abstract

An "in the water" user experience is provided. A device holds a user partially submerged in the water, and propels the user and device with the user partially submerged. The user and device together have a center of buoyancy, which can be adjusted to accommodate users of different size and weight. Thus, a user can be propelled through the water.
