Abstract: The invention provides for a swimsuit with at least one discretely placed air cell positioned within a multi-part waistband of the swimsuit. Optionally, the swim suit also can include additional air cells placed within multi-part seams and hemlines with all air cells communicable coupled together. The swim suit is further outfitted with an CO2 gas cartridge with an actuator system that is also communicable coupled with the air cell or air cells. The actuator system can be actuated manually by the user using an actuator switch to open a valve or by sending wireless electronic systems from a remote transceiver. In addition, the multi-part waistband, seams, and hemlines may also include a synthetic rubber, such as neoprene either surrounding the air cells or positioned next to the air cells for added buoyancy.
