Abstract
A swimming instructional and training aid comprising a combination floatation and positioning member adapted to encircle or attach to a body joint of the extremities, i.e., the knee, ankle/foot, elbow and wrist/hand joints, the member being relatively rigid yet retaining some flexibility and configured to restrictively maintain the body joint in a preferred angular position as determined by proper swimming technique, the member being comprised of a buoyant material whereby the body joint is lifted to the surface of the water when the member is in place.
Claims20
A swimming instructional and training device worn on an individual body joint chosen from the group of body joints consisting of the knee joint, the ankle/foot joint, the elbow joint and the wrist/hand joint, said device comprising in combination floatation means and positioning means, said positioning means restrictively positioning the body joint in the angular alignment equal to the technically correct angular alignment for proper execution of a standard swimming stroke in the absence of said device, said floatation means simultaneously lifting said body joint to the water surface to properly position the body joint in the water, and where said positioning means is flexible to the extent that the body joint can be flexed.
A swimming instructional and training device comprising in combination a pair of body joint positioning members worn on the knee joints, each of said pair of body joint positioning members restrictively maintaining each of said knee joints in the proper angular alignment, said positioning member further comprising floatation means to simultaneously lift said knee joints to the water surface.
A swimming instructional and training aid comprising in combination a pair of body joint positioning members adapted to be worn on the knee joints and a pair of body joint positioning members adapted to be worn on the ankle/foot joints, said body joint positioning members adapted to restrictively maintain said body joints in the proper angular alignment, said positioning members further comprising floatation means to lift said body joints to the water surface.
