ABSTRACT:
A swimming simulation exercise device is described. The device comprises a frame supporting a platform on which the user rests, arm cranks for simulating swimming stroke motions and resistance means for the user's legs to allow the user to simulate a kicking motion. The platform is preferably mounted on a gimballing apparatus which allows the user to simulate the normal rocking motion inherent in swimming. The apparatus incorporates means for providing a "simulated water line" effect such that the user encounters resistance to arm strokes during the lower half of the stroke (in which the arm would normally be in the water during swimming) and little or no resistance on the upper half of the stroke. Accessory devices such as heart rate monitors, lap/distance counters and the like can be attached to the device.
