A miniature foam football with an internal weighting element and a swivel ring or clip is used for deploying a rope. The weighting element is insert-molded in the football foam for low cost of manufacture, and allows the ball to be thrown accurately for distances of up to 100 feet, while retaining overall water buoyancy due to the high buoyancy of the football foam. The swivel ring or clip protrudes from one axial end of the football for quick and easy attachment to the rope, and allows relative rotation between the ball and the rope as the rope is deployed to permit easy and unhindered payout of the rope once the ball has been thrown.
