A flexible elongate support (1) communicating a singular pliable tailfin (2) at an end is made to flap by upward and downward force from a swimmer's legs and midsection, thereby propelling the swimmer and device in a forward direction. The swimmer inserts legs into rearward lever element (3) and forward cradle (6) which adjustably communicate with elongate support (1) at locations substantially aligning with the feet and thigh areas of a swimmer longitudinally juxtaposed to the device and provide pivot locations about which the swimmer's legs use leverage to forcibly cause tailfin (2) to displace sequentially upward and downward. Flexible elongate support 1 provides a recoil restoring force when distorted from equilibrium during a stroke, which increases efficiency and assists the swimmer in causing tailfin (2) to flap in a manner similar to the action of aquatic creatures such as dolphins and whales.
