Abstract
A swimming assistance accessory includes a holder to hold the accessory during swimming; a float allowing the water to exert, on the accessory, a vertical force resulting from buoyancy opposing gravity; and a weight allowing the barycenter of the holder to be maintained substantially below the surface of the water when the accessory is in a balance position in water.
Claims20
A swimming assistance accessory, comprising:
- a holder configured to hold the accessory during a stroke adapted to a two-handed grip;
- a float enabling water to exert, on the accessory, a vertical force resulting from a buoyant force opposed to gravity;
- a body comprising a ballast for holding a barycenter of the holder substantially under the water surface when the accessory is in a balance position in water,
- wherein the holder forms a junction between the body and the float, an upper part of the body comprising the ballast forming a leaning area for swimmer's hands, and
- wherein a plane forming a vertical plane of symmetry of the accessory comprises a center of gravity of the accessory and a center of gravity of the ballast.

A swimming assistance accessory, comprising:
- a body forming a lower part of the accessory designed to be immersed during a stroke;
- a holder configured to hold the accessory adapted to a swimmer's two-handed grip, both hands to be partly overlapped, the holder extending on an upper part of the body, said upper part of the body forming a leaning area;
- a float enabling water to exert, on the accessory, a vertical force resulting from the buoyant force opposed to gravity, and
- wherein a plane forming a vertical plane of symmetry of the accessory comprises a center of gravity of the accessory and a center of gravity of the ballast.
