Flotation assembly

A flotation module for use in water comprising in combination a substantially rectangular, vertically situated frame including upper side edges and an upper surface spanning said upper side edges of said frame, and flotation means in said frame and below said upper surface, said flotation means being situated one within each side of said frame and extending longitudinally thereof, said frame being formed from synthetic plastic and including a pair of longitudinally extending sides and a pair of ends, each of said sides including an upper longitudinally extending member and a lower longitudinally extending member spaced and parallel to said upper member, and at least one intermediate longitudinally extending member between said upper and lower members, said upper surface including a plurality of synthetic plastic boards extending between the ends of said frame and engaging transverse slots formed in said ends of said frame.
