This life vest allows full-grown bipedal humanoids to dog-paddle around in Second Life's beautiful lakes, ponds, and waterways.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW (Scroll down to the bottom for usage)
==============================================

Are you looking explore Second Life's waterways in the most basic- albeit visceral- way possible?

Well, unless you're going to take swimming lessons (or purchased our more fully-featured "Dripping Wet" Swimming Suite), you can now equip this vest and you'll be on your way... slowly... via dog-paddling!

That said, you're going to look great doing it thanks to the vest's innovative sound and effects that'll get you noticed whether you're male, female, or something in between.

Even though you can only dog-paddle (slowly) both at and below the waterline, this Life Vest will give you the experience, confidence, and joy before purchasing a far more immersive swimming HUD.

DOG-PADDLING, WATER EFFECTS, and SOUND
1) Auto-detection of where you are in relation to the water
2) Long-click the vest to adjust your float height
3) Hand-crafted sound system - even when walking on the beach!
4) Dare to compare our water effects with anyone else's!
5) Suited to both males and females
6) An entirely passive system that knows when you've entered and left the water - as well as how deep you've gone!

EXTRA: A special script to drop into your other favorite AO's that'll turn them on an off as you enter and exit the water.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Swimming and sunbathing are my favorite activities in Second Life. I poured ever ounce of my talent into making this system.
I really hope you love it and- if you do- please leave a review!

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
====================
NOTE: The Life Vest isn't currently designed to work with arbitrary swimming pools, but stay tuned... an update will take care of that - which you will receive for free!

Quick-start
---------------
1) Navigate to the product folder
2) Right-click on the Lactopia - Life Vest object and "ADD" it to yourself.
3) Adjust the vest to fit yourself by long-left-clicking on the vest and choosing the "Resize..." button.
5) Although the dripping and splashing system is "auto-magic," you can splash your avatar with water anytime - even on land - by simply quick-left-clicking the vest
6) Take a dip in some deep water. Simple walk into the water to see the depth at which your dog-paddling animation kicks in.
7) To adjust where you are with respect to the water-line, do a long "left-click" on the vest. You'll get a dialog with which to adjust the level at which you float.
8) That's all there is to it! You're ready for swimming and diving in Second Life's lakes, rivers, and oceans!
9) For added fun, try a quick left-click on the vest!

haha so much fun and I feel much safer in the deep water now. the animation is really succeeded and the water droplets make it extremely realistic. it's a cute gimmick for all who can`t swim so well. yes I would buy again XD
