A swimming exercise and training apparatus comprising:
- a base member for supporting the apparatus on a supporting surface;
- a horizontal support extending along a longitudinal axis, said horizontal support pivotally secured to said base member in a spaced relationship thereto for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis extending laterally of said longitudinal axis of said horizontal support;
- a first support member for supporting the user's chest, said first support member having right and left lateral sides and first and second longitudinal ends and secured to said horizontal support for limited rotation about said longitudinal axis of said horizontal support;
- an attachment bar attached to said first end of said first support member, said attachment bar having first and second ends and extending laterally of said horizontal support;
- a second support member for supporting the user's waist, said second support member having first and second ends, said first end of said second support member secured to said horizontal support proximate said second end of said first support member for limited rotation about said longitudinal axis of said horizontal support;
- a third support member for supporting the user's head, said third support member secured to said attachment bar proximate said first end of said first support member for limited rotation about said attachment bar;
- a pair of arm movement members secured respectively to said first end and said second end of said attachment bar proximate respectively to said right side and left side of said first end of said first support member, each said arm movement member secured to said attachment bar for movement in a plurality of vertical planes such that each said arm movement member may move in an arc approximating the movement of the user's arm;
- a pair of leg movement members secured to said horizontal support proximate said second end of said second support member, each said leg movement member secured to said horizontal support for movement in a plurality of vertical planes such that each said leg movement member may move in an arc approximating the movement of the user's leg;
- and
- adjustable resistance members attached to each said arm movement member and to each said leg movement member providing adjustable resistance to movement of each said arm movement member and to each said leg movement member.
