My Invention would be a way to keep children and surfers completely safe in water activities in the pool and the ocean. My product name is the magic bubble. What the target market is parents and experienced surfers. The product also has much potential to be marketed not only in the US but throughout the entire world. The Magic Bubble is built within a wet suit that is linked to a tube with string that can pulled at anytime that fills the back of the suit with a pocket of air that would potentially save a Childs or a surfers life in a state of emergency.
Child Safety is one of the largest concerns for parents and lifeguards. Children ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates. In a study done in 2009, among children 1 to 4 years old who died from an unintentional injury, more than 30% died from drowning (Unintentional Drowning1) among children ages 1 to 4 most drowning occur in home swimming pools.
Factors such as access to swimming pools the desire or lack of desire to learn how to swim, and choosing water-related recreational activities may contribute to the racial differences in drowning rates.
The magic bubble would sell very well in Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart and Target. In such franchises throughout the US would make it easy and very much scene by parents and children while shopping. It would be displayed by all the summer necessities and floating devises. Although this product would be in affordable stores it must at least cost around $39 .99 for the children sizes. The adult body suit would be around $59.99 due to the extra material and appearance of a stylist wet suit to appeal to surfers. The Magic bubble is packed in a small box that would give its target market the statics of children drowning and the safely it provides for people. 19% of drowning deaths involving children occur in public pools with certified lifeguards present. A swimming pool is 14 times more likely than a motor vehicle to be involved in the death of a child age 4 and under. An

    For my conclusion I will write about the differences between people drowning in freshwater compared to people drowning in saltwater. When someone drowns it means that their lungs (respiratory system) has been blocked from receiving oxygen by a liquid. Majority of the time it is water that people drown in. “Drowning is the third most common cause of accidental death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury related deaths” (MedicineNet). Water is the most common way that people drown, but the two types of water that is common to Earth in masses are freshwater and saltwater. Both can drown you but in completely difference ways.…
