Abstract: An architecture is presented that provides a novelty float device or pool float device designed for use in a swimming pool, lake or other water recreational area. The novelty float device comprises an upper portion of a shark's body, wherein the shark's body also comprises a mouth. The mouth of the shark's body is typically in an open position, and extends above the surface of the water in a preferred embodiment. Typically, the upper portion of the shark's body is buoyant and sturdy enough so that a user can jump or dive through the shark's mouth, or users can feed the shark by throwing sea creature (or other animal) water toys or other articles through the shark's mouth.
