About the solution
Shawn Melito (shawnmelito on instroctubles) has a daughter with cerebral palsy.
When his family goes swimming, either in a pool or at the lake, his daughter, would either just have to float around in a life jacket, or be carried around by an adult. Either way she had no independence.
Adapting a motorized water lounge chair, Shawn created something like a water motorized wheelchair, the Water Scooter.
Now his little daughter can have some sort of independence whenever her family wants to goes swimming!
You can create your own Water Scooter by following this steps on instructables:
