Abstract: A stabilizing lower-body swimming garment that enhances a wearer's stability, balance, and control during aquatic activities, especially when swimming in a horizontal position, and is wearable, comfortably and discreetly, for long periods of time in any circumstance in which athletic shorts or pants might be worn, permitting wearers to transition seamlessly from aquatic activities to land-based athletic and non-athletic activities and vice versa. The garment works by incorporating low-density, closed-cell foam along a wearer's outer legs to increase the wearer's righting torque when in water.
