DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0010] FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the face down pool float with face opening to water and pillow accessories showing: pool float referenced as A, opening for face deep enough to breath referenced as B, Velcro referenced as C, plastic wrap referenced as D, inflatable pillow to fill face opening referenced as E, optional zippered pouch referenced as F2, buckle referenced as G, straps (different option to attach) referenced as H, open to the water referenced as I, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The airhole channels X or formed creases enable an air flow for a users to breathe there through when their face is filling the opening B. The airhole channels or creases are also implemented as multiple straws with open ends to a bottom and a top of the opening B with respect to a bottom and top of the pool float where the top is where the user lays and the bottom floats on a pool surface.

[0011] FIG. 3 is a top elevational view of the face down pool float and the air channel creases for breathing air there through in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The airhole channels X or formed creases enable an air flow for a users to breathe there through when their face is filling the opening B. The airhole channels or creases are also implemented as multiple straws with open ends to a bottom and a top of the opening B with respect to a bottom and top of the pool float where the top is where the user lays and the bottom floats on a pool surface.

[0012] Ingenious and practical, the face down pool float offers a modern accessory that provides users with the ability to lay face down on a pool float, at maximum comfort, supporting a perfect position for tanning one's back and overall relaxation. The face down pool float would function like other pool floats, but introduces a novel face opening to give the user the ability to comfortably float face down. To expose the opening, one would simply remove the detachable head cushion which reveals an open hole with depth. To ensure users are able to breathe easily while their face is down on the float, the hole possesses side openings near the face to ensure air circulation, as it's a comfortable distance above the water. Furthermore, when the facial opening is not in use, a person can utilize the hole area as a waterproof storage compartment as the float includes an option to seal the bottom, when desired. With the face down pool float, individuals will be able to lie on water and sunbathe face down with great ease.
