Abstract
A flotation unit, for example a table, for use within water such as a swimming pool has a sufficient size and weight to be self-stable without requiring any external stabilization such as weights or extensions. The flotation unit may have an upper portion having one or more holding spaces therein and a lower portion that is substantially solid. The flotation unit may alternatively have a hollow interior. The flotation unit may include a sunshade, cup holders or electronic equipment within the holding spaces. The flotation unit is readily carried and transported.
