Abstract: A personal floatation device may include a body, a strap and a belt. The body may include front and back portions. One of the front and back portions may include a first closure member. At least one of the front and back portions may be at least partially formed from a material that is sufficiently buoyant to keep a user afloat in water. The strap may extend around at least a portion of at least one of the front and back portions to secure the body to the user. The belt may include a first end fixed to the body and a second end having a second closure member selectively engaging the first closure member.
