The strap floats and more importantly makes the camera (Olympus SW1030) float safely, bobbing on top of the waves or pool water surface.Would gladly buy it again, a bargain at [$] and of course would highly recommended it.Minor nit: the fiber loop used to loop it into the camera could be a tiny bit longer (a couple of millimeters would do)... it barely fits. Meanwhile the strap itself is big enough for a forearm-sized wrist (a little big on my wrist). But the latter is probably a function of the necessary length due to the 4 flotation pads.Great feature: the strap can be unclipped from the loop so you can take it off when in dry land, and to put it back, simply snap it into place without having to thread it again. A good thing because as I mentioned, threading it's a little tricky and tight. But you only do it once.Awesome performance all around.

Bought for use with my Olympus 770SW
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it came recommended to keep the camera afloat if I lose contact with my camera.
That is likely, as it is not quite small enough for a small hand and wrist.

Comments about Olympus Float Strap (Red):
This strap is a total life saver! I used it with my new Olympus TG-2 P&S underwater camera, and it actually floats when using this strap. There were no worries when using this strap whatsoever.
It is comfortable, although a bit large, but it has to be in order to support the weight. It is also easily detachable, so I was easily able to swap straps depending on need.
Great product that works as advertised. Highly recommended.

Comments about Olympus Float Strap (Red):
I was so glad I bought this strap. I didn't have any worries about losing my waterproof camera so it was always accessible for my 10 day sailing and snorkeling trip.
Some reviewers have mentioned that the strap is big but I have big hands so it wasn't a problem. Even if you have small hands, the point of the strap is to keep your camera from falling to the bottom of the ocean and it works incredibly well for that.

Comments about Olympus Float Strap (Red):
This thing is bigger than I expected. And uglier. As mentioned in the description it can fit on your arm but only if you've got thick arms. I added snap buttons to the two leather flaps so that I could secure it around my wrist and actually use it. Without snaps this thing is useless. Who wants to pull this thing down off their bicep every time they take a picture? Dumb design.

Comments about Olympus Float Strap (Red):
Whoever invented this float "nailed it". It's simple, cameras don't float. I was jet skiing with my kids Saturday, I wanted to be able to take photo's on demand. Normally i'd have to stop dig around for the camera etc. I just put the floatie around my wrist and away I went.

Stop worrying about loosing your camera at the beach, with this strap you may toss it to someone in the pool/beach and the camera will float until they reach it. The red color makes it easy to find in the middle of the sea :)
The size of this strap is just right.
