"I thought it would be good to get something that used the water to bounce off and began to experiment.”
He added: "It has been very successful and we sell the balls all over the world - Australia is our biggest market.
"It seems a bit odd that a Swede should invent this because it is best for a hot climate where people are in the sea and in swimming pools all the time."
