Swimming float-assisted can be more difficult than swimming without the float, because if the float is held in front of the swimmer a more vigorous workout for the legs is given as the swimmer's weight is propelled solely by the legs, and vice versa for the arms. Especially-large floats can be used as seats to float or sit on top of a pool for the user to stand on top in the manner of a raft. A variation known as the "pool noodle" is a long (about –) thin (a few inches across) cylinder with a hollow core. It can be used to aid in floating or stretching exercises.
