Swimming maneuverability device

Abstract

A swimming manuerverability device which assists a person in swimming, exercising, floating, maneuvering, or the like thereof in shallow and / or deep water. The swimming manuerverability device includes a base having at least one aerodynamic surface, a first restraining device for attaching the base to a user's arm, and a second restraining device for attaching the base to a user's hand. Optional buoyant material of the swimming device allows a person to swim, exercise, float, maneuver, or the like thereof in shallow water while keeping the user's head and / or upper torso out of the water. Alternatively, the base may be comprised of a ballast material to assist a user in staying below the surface of the water while maneuvering. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the base may be comprised of a neutrally buoyant material.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention is related in general to the field of assisted swimming devices. In particular, this invention includes a base including aerodynamic surfaces, a first restraining device to secure a user's hand and arm to the base, and a second retraining device to restraint the fingers of the user's hand while swimming, exercising, maneuvering, or the like thereof while the user is in water.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Persons who are active in water often wish to have a device for providing assistance in maneuvering while optionally providing floatation support for the user while swimming. Alternatively, persons may desire to have a device that provides assistance maneuvering in deep water without the added benefit of a floatation device, or, alternatively, they may wish to have a slightly positive, a slightly negative, or a neutrally buoyant floatation device which provides aerodynamic surfaces for assist...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a device that helps swimmers move around and provides buoyancy. It consists of a base that is attached to the swimmer's arm and hand using a first restraining device. There is also a second restraining device that attaches to the base and can hold the swimmer's fingers in place. The base can be attached to the swimmer's arm and hand using both devices. The invention can be used for swimming, floating, or exercise. It is designed to improve swimming efficiency and comfort."

Problems solved by technology

However, based on the current state of the art, most persons who swim in either shallow or deep water have few options, other than using the natural surfaces of the user's body or the possible exception of flippers or motorized devices, when seeking assistance in maneuvering their body while swimming,.

Also, most persons who swim have no device that allows them to swim, exercise, maneuver, or the like thereof in shallow and deep water, other than the items indicated above.
