Abstract
Individual swimmers may routinely and easily perform exercise regiments to maintain or enhance their general health and fitness utilizing the present invention. A pole may be secured adjacent a body of water to retain a tether and a harness which retains the swimmer. The pole mount provides for securement at generally any swimming pool utilizing a hand rail which exists with generally all swimming pools. This provides for the swimming exercise device to be extremely transportable while ensuring use without any structural modification to any existing structure of the swimming pool.

A swimming exercise device for a swimmer to allow generally free movement of legs and arms during performance of a swimming action by the swimmer within a body of water while the swimmer is being restricted to a generally stationary position in the body of water, the body of water having an existing hand rail, the swimming exercise device comprising:
- a) a pole having a securing end, an outer end;
- b) a hand rail mount having an installed orientation when positioned on the existing hand rail, the hand rail mount having:
- i) means to secure the hand rail mount relative to the existing hand rail associated with the body of water wherein the hand rail mount is generally prohibited from migrating along the existing hand rail associated with the body of water;
- ii) means to retain the securing end of the pole relative to a hand rail associated with the body of water;
- c) an engagement member to contact the swimmer while leaving the swimmer free to manipulate their legs and arms during performance of the swimming action;
- d) a connection member having a first end and a second end with the first end secured relative to the outer end of the pole and the second end secured relative to the engagement member;
- wherein the hand rail mount, the pole, the engagement member and the connection member cooperate to provide for a restriction of placement of the swimmer in the body of water during the performance of the swimming action while further providing for a lifting action to the swimmer while in the body of water during the performance of the swimming action.
