Abstract
According to a first embodiment of the present application, Applicant discloses an aquatic exercise device for assisting a swimmer to practice swimming in place. The device comprises: a pair of tines, each tine comprising an upper end and a lower end; a fork root attached to the upper ends of the pair of tines; and a suspension element attached to and suspending the fork root. The suspension element suspends the fork root and the upper ends of the tines above water comprising a practice area, the lower ends of the tines are submerged in the water of the practice area, and the pair of tines operative to maintaining a position of the swimmer in the practice area.
Claims18
An aquatic exercise device for assisting a swimmer to practice swimming in place, said device comprising:
- a pair of tines, each tine comprising an upper end and a lower end, and each tine further comprising a hinge, whereby each hinge enables each tine to be folded so that the lower end of each tine is elevated with respect to the upper end;
- a fork root attached to the upper ends of the pair of tines;
- a suspension element attached to and suspending the fork root;
- and
- whereby the suspension element suspends the fork root and the upper ends of the tines above water comprising a practice area, the lower ends of the tines are submerged in the water of the practice area, and the pair of tines operative to maintaining a position of the swimmer in the practice area.
An aquatic exercise device for assisting a swimmer to practice swimming in place, said device comprising:
- a pair of tines, each tine comprising an upper end and a lower end;
- a pair of retention elements, the retention elements respectively attached to the upper ends of the tines;
- a fork root attached to the upper ends of the pair of tines using the respective retention elements;
- a suspension element attached to and suspending the fork root;
- and
- whereby the suspension element suspends the fork root and the upper ends of the tines above water comprising a practice area, the lower ends of the tines are submerged in the water of the practice area, the pair of tines operative to maintaining a position of the swimmer in the practice area, and each retention element applies a normalizing force to maintain the position of each tine with respect to the fork root.
An aquatic exercise device for assisting a swimmer to practice swimming in place, said device comprising:
- a pair of tines, each tine comprising an upper end and a lower end;
- a pair of retention elements, the retention elements respectively attached to the upper ends of the tines;
- a fork root attached to the upper ends of the pair of tines using the respective retention elements;
- a suspension element comprising a first end and a second end, the suspension element attached to and suspending the fork root at the first end of the suspension element;
- a base attached to the second end of the suspension element;
- and
- whereby the suspension element suspends the fork root and the upper ends of the tines above water comprising a practice area, the lower ends of the tines are submerged in the water of the practice area, the pair of tines operative to maintaining a position of the swimmer in the practice area, and each retention element applies a normalizing force to maintain the position of each tine with respect to the fork root.
An aquatic exercise device for assisting a swimmer to practice swimming in place, said device comprising:
- a pair of tines, each tine comprising an upper end and a lower end;
- a fork root attached to the upper ends of the pair of tines;
- a suspension element attached to and suspending the fork root;
- and
- whereby the suspension element suspends the fork root and the upper ends of the tines above water comprising a practice area, the lower ends of the tines are submerged in the water of the practice area, each of the tines extending vertically downward into the water, a first one of the tines being horizontally spaced apart from a second one of the tines so as to define a gap therebetween that is configured to receive a neck of the swimmer, and the pair of tines operative to maintaining a position of the swimmer in the practice area by restraining the swimmer at his or her shoulders.
