Benefits of technology

The wearable swimming assistance apparatus using a water jet propeller has two main benefits - it is easier to use and more durable than other types of swimming assistance devices. Additionally, it reduces the manufacturing cost, making it more affordable for users who enjoy various water sports. The apparatus is designed for infants and children who are unskilled in swimming or have low swimming proficiency, promoting the popularization of water leisure activities based on families. The apparatus prevents failure, damage, or erroneous operation of the propeller due to underwater organisms or foreign substances, ensuring stable and smooth operation.

Problems solved by technology

Since such swimming is performed under or on the water, poor swimmers spend much time in learning how to flow on water before swimming and raising the level of swimming proficiency.
Thus, people who are unskilled in swimming or have a low swimming proficiency have a limitation in enjoying swimming.
However, such a conventional swimming assistance appliance or apparatus entails a problem in that it causes an inconvenience of operation due to complexity of configuration thereof, or has a limitation in that since it has only a simple function of increasing a positive buoyancy, people who are unskilled in swimming or have a low swimming proficiency cannot enjoy swimming comfortably and freely.
These water leisure sports also have a limitation in that many people do not enjoy them due to high cost.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a swimming aid apparatus worn on the body. The swimming aid apparatus worn on the body according to the present invention is worn by the user to provide propulsive force so that the user can enjoy swimming. Also, a water jet propeller may be used and stably operated without breaking down or being damaged by underwater living organisms or foreign substances. The swimming aid apparatus worn on the body according to the present invention includes: a body frame worn on the user's body; a water jet propeller fixed to the body frame to spray water, thereby generating propulsive force; a battery connected to the water jet propeller to supply power; and a controller controlling the operation of the water jet propeller.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a wearable swimming assistance apparatus, and more particularly, to such a wearable swimming assistance apparatus which can be worn by a user to enable him or her to enjoy swimming while receiving a propulsive force, can be operated stably without a failure or damage caused by underwater organisms or foreign substances through the use of a water jet propeller, and can be easily worn even by infants or children who have a low swimming proficiency to enable them to enjoy swimming.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recently, many people without distinction of age or sex enjoy swimming as part of exercises or leisure activities. Since such swimming is performed under or on the water, poor swimmers spend much time in learning how to flow on water before swimming and raising the level of swimming proficiency. Thus, people who are unskilled in swimming or have a low swimming proficiency have a limitation in enjoying swimming.[0003]In an effort to solv...
