Abstract: A floating chair is provided which is made up of a U-shaped mesh seat which has, along the outer edge of the hemispherical portion of the U-shape, a sewn tube which is of the correct inside diameter to allow a commonly used cylindrical closed cell foam water toy to be passed trough it. The water toy provides floatation to the mesh seat, which in turn allows a swimmer to place it on the surface of a body of water (such as a swimming pool or lake) and then place himself on the mesh seat, having his back resting on the closed portion of the U. This configuration allows the swimmer to float on the surface of the water without expending any energy to stay afloat and, thus, enhances a swimmer's enjoyment of water recreation.
