AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The swimming aid helps swimmers by keeping their legs parallel to the water level and at the same height as the rest of their body. This makes it easier for them to swim and improves their performance.

Problems solved by technology

The drawbacks of the available swimming aids are that they are not easy to use, reduce the hydrodynamic motion of the swimmer, increase drag and hinder the continuous act of swimming by allowing the lower part of the leg to sink.
Fins, on the other hand, increase flotation of the feet but do not provide a natural swimming experience to the swimmer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Various swimming aids are available. They support and / or provide flotation to the back, arms, thighs and feet. The drawbacks of the available swimming aids are that they are not easy to use, reduce the hydrodynamic motion of the swimmer, increase drag and hinder the continuous act of swimming by allowing the lower part of the leg to sink. Fins, on the other hand, increase flotation of the feet but do not provide a natural swimming experience to the swimmer.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]According to embodiments of the present invention a swimming aid that provides upward force and floats the swimmer from the shins is disclosed.[0003]According to embodiments of the present invention the swimming aid keeps all parts of both legs parallel to the water level and substantially on the same elevation as the rest of the body by floating the legs from the shins, thereby aiding the swimmer swim, for example during free style swimming.[0004]According to further ...
