1. An aquatic system for use with an object, said aquatic system comprising:
a parameter detector being configured to detect a parameter of the object and to output an activation signal based on the detected parameter;
an inflatable bladder being configured to inflate with a gas to displace a volume of water when the object is in the water;
a memory having instructions stored therein; and
a stabilization controller being configured execute the instructions to cause said inflatable bladder to inflate so as to establish horizontal buoyancy of the object based on the activation signal.
