A pair of side temples (30) each have at a pair of openings (44) therethrough, with the temples inside surface configured with a flat portion (40) and a raised edge (42) that protectively encompasses the flat portion. The outside surface (38) is in a convex outer shape. Hinges connect the temples to the frame permitting them to be folded flat against the frame for ease of handling and storage. A pair of float pads (54) are configured in a recessed inverse image of the opening through each side temple and each float pad is snapped into forced into conformance with the temple opening securing it in place due to the flexibility of the pad. The pads engagement with a wearers head creates a snug fit and the pads buoyancy is sufficient to overcome the combined weight of the frame and temples permitting the eyewear to float in water with the temples protruding vertically above waters surface.
