Benefits of technology

[0007] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a device for teaching swimming which can enable a user to safely perform the correct swimming posture and gather breath.

Problems solved by technology

Swimming is a particularly healthy exercise, yet many people are afraid to learn because they do not know how to gather breath or to float on water, and greatly fear choking and drowning.
If a learner carelessly goes to a deep area of a swimming pool and can not touch the bottom of swimming pool, the learner will probably panic and lose the confidence to continue with this exercise.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, a device for teaching swimming comprises an L-like frame (10) which has an upright portion standing along a swimming pool (20) and a lateral portion laterally extending from the upright portion and adapted for extending above the swimming pool (20). The lateral portion has two sides, and a longitudinal rail groove (104) defined in one of the sides of the lateral portion. A connector extends movably through the longitudinal rail groove (104) of the lateral portion of the L-like frame (10). The connector has an L-like bar (14) and a wheel (15). The L-like bar (14) extends through the longitudinal rail groove (104) in the lateral portion and has a lower end and an upper end extending into the longitudinal groove (104) in the lateral portion. The wheel (15) is mounted rotatably at the upper end of the L-like bar (14) and is located in the longitudinal rail groove (104). A first elastic strap (11) is connected pivotally to the lower end of the L-li...

Abstract

A device for swimming learning includes an L-like frame having an upright portion standing along a swimming pool and a lateral portion extending above the swimming pool. A connector is mounted movably on the lateral portion. A first elastic strap is pivotally mounted on the lateral portion of the frame. A second elastic strap is connected pivotally to the connector. A buoy is connected to the first elastic strap and the second elastic strap. Whereby, a swimmer can be suspended on the surface of the pool in order to develop swimming techniques and remain at a stationary position due to resilient forces of the first and the second elastic strap therefore preventing the swimmer from moving forward to a deep area of the swimming pool.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a device for teaching swimming, and particularly to a device which enables a user to easily gather breath and perform the correct swimming posture. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Swimming is a particularly healthy exercise, yet many people are afraid to learn because they do not know how to gather breath or to float on water, and greatly fear choking and drowning. [0005] Additionally, a swimmer must coordinate movements of arms and legs to go forward in the water. If a learner carelessly goes to a deep area of a swimming pool and can not touch the bottom of swimming pool, the learner will probably panic and lose the confidence to continue with this exercise. [0006] Therefore, the invention provides a device for teaching swimming to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a ...
