Abstract
A swim training apparatus for use as a monofin for bilateral undulation power development. The apparatus includes a flexible, elongated member having a series of securing members, such as through-holes extending from the top surface of the elongated member through to its bottom surface, and fasteners configured and disposed to attach to the securing member, such as straps that can extend through the through-holes, to fasten the apparatus to a user's legs. A weight can be attached using similar attachments and fasteners to the apparatus to increase undulation during use.
Claims18
A monofin swim training apparatus comprising:
- a flexible, elongated member;
- a first fastener attached to the flexible, elongated member and configured to releasably attach the flexible, elongated member to the legs of a user;
- and
- a second fastener longitudinally spaced from the first fastener along a longitudinal axis of the flexible, elongated member, and attached to the flexible, elongated member,
- wherein the flexible, elongated member extends beyond the toes of the user when attached to the legs of the user.
A monofin swim training apparatus comprising:
- a flexible, elongated member;
- and
- at least one fastener attached to the flexible, elongated member and configured to releasably attach the flexible, elongated member to the legs of a user,
- wherein the flexible, elongated member has a longitudinal axis and a modulus sufficient to allow the flexible elongated member to flex from the longitudinal axis by about 5° to about 110° when undulated by the kicks of the user under water.
A monofin swim training apparatus comprising:
- a flexible, elongated member;
- at least one fastener attached to the flexible, elongated member and configured to releasably attach the flexible, elongated member to the legs of a user,
- wherein the flexible, elongated member can flex by at least about 90° to about 180° relative to first and second ends of the flexible elongated member without permanently deforming.
