Swim simulator with breathing practice function

Abstract

The invention is related to a swimming teaching apparatus which provides user to make a complete swimming like action on land. The special technical features are a body rotation mechanism, arms guide, a breathing sink and a kick pad for legs, all together to perform on land swimming exercise. All strokes can be skilled with a precise instruction by the coach when the user is stationary on the invention. The invention allows user to do continuous practice of the swimming movements without be interrupted by a breathing problem, when the arms and legs are well coordinated, breathing sink then add to exercise, user can do combined actions slowly to ensure the correctness. The invention is tried to substitute the buoyancy of water as a pre-training machine for those schools which have no swimming pools can still carry out swimming courses for their students to reduce drowning incidents.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a machine that emulates strokes which including breathing exercises. The invention is to provide a platform for practice all strokes to familiarize students with the swimming skills.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]All of the swimming lessons of schools are held in the swimming pools, for those schools which have no swimming pools, swimming courses must be held in another swimming pool outside their school, this is very inconvenient. In order to solve the problems of non-swimming pool schools, a swim simulator is invented.[0005]Take freestyle for example, the arms should pass the underside of the lying body along the body center line from the front head to the back thigh, the body has to rotate to match the rhythm of breathing and arm cycles which includes palm enter, stretch, catch, pull, recovery to the front. In order to completely simulate the freestyle movements on land, t...

Benefits of technology

[0129]Another object of the present invention is to provide a quick release arm and hand guide module which can be assembled and disassembled quickly from freestyle use to backs

Problems solved by technology

All of the swimming lessons of schools are held in the swimming pools, for those schools which have no swimming pools, swimming courses must be held in another swimming pool outside their school, this is very inconvenient.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,391,129 (Viatcheslav K. Zaitsev) shows a pair of fixed traction elements which are curved surfaces from the side view, the arms are stretched without bend when move along the curved traction elements, It is very laborious if swim this way because the stretched arm produce bigger torque to the arms.

When the body tilts to one side form the highest middle point, the body center is below the highest middle point, it's laborious to against gravity and to make the body return to the highest middle point and then reach to the other side lower point, it takes strength to lift the center of gravity of the body for back and forc
