Embodiment Construction

[0012]The device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a body including three layers piled one over the other. In FIG. 1 one embodiment of the device is depicted to show the main elements defining the same. The device 1 comprises three layers. The upper layer 2 is a clear sheet made of a translucent or transparent material. The material could be made of a polymer, such as plastics, acrylics, polycarbonates, etc., metallic materials, carbon fiber, fiberglass, and in general, composite materials. The material of layer 2 is resistant to breakage and it allows for detailing marks or elements thereon, or in the layer 3 just below layer 2. Layer 2 may include one or more additional elements such as lines, angles, and shapes in order to assist the swimmer to improve his performance. The device of FIG. 1 comprises a line 5 covering part of the surface of layer 2. More preferably, line 5 goes from one end to the other of the device 1 to cover the whole length of layer 2. Line 5 is placed near th...

Abstract

A device for improving the swimming performance of a user. The device includes an upper layer made of a translucent or transparent material, a middle layer disposed adjacent the first layer and made of a reflective material, and a lower layer disposed adjacent the second layer. The third layer is made of an opaque material. Additionally, a line is disposed along a length of at least one of the upper, middle, and lower layers to assist the user in determining a position of the user, so as to correct movements of the user.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Many devices exist that are directed to the problem of assisting swimmers in improving their performance. Most of these devices include elements which require the strapping of the swimmer's limbs to various moving elements of the apparatus which provides an artificial character to the instruction and forces rather than guiding the swimmer through the proper motions.[0002]One particular device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,693,570 (Kryder). The device of Kryder comprises a mirror assembly including two sheets of shatter resistant acrylic plastic having reflective characteristics. The acrylic plastic sheets are held together by a peripheral channel-like framework engaging the exposed edges of the sheet members. The framework includes means for suspending the mirror assembly from a wall or the like. Due to its lightweight construction, the mirror assembly of Kryder is portable and easily positioned for use without requiring special mounting equipment. For example, the...
