Growing up we'd call it a rubber ring. It's also as Kent said known as an inflatable ring. It's also a swimming aid.

I'm from the US and we call those inner tubes, or just a tubes. A life ring is a thing you find on a boat, like what you throw to someone who's fallen overboard. Hope this helps!

I am English and I call those "inflatable rubber rings". If I had to pick from the two choices you have given me, I would choose to call them "Swimming rings". Also, I a life ring is different since they aren't inflatable, they are just very buoyant
