ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an aquatic exercise and therapeutic system comprising a plurality of aquatic exercise devices arranged about a central controller which permits adjustment of the water level and water temperature within each exercise device. Sensors which detect water level and temperature may be disposed in each exercise device to electrically communicate with the central controller. Individual controllers may also be provided on each exercise device so that the water level and temperature may be controlled by the user. The exercise devices are preferably arranged so that the longitudinal axis of each device extends radially outwardly from a center point where the water source, the central controller, and the means for heating the water are positioned. Each exercise device comprises a tank having an inner chamber. At the rearward end of the inner chamber, the wall is configured to form a seat suitable for positioning a user within the tank. An adjustable cycling assembly is positioned at the forward end of the inner chamber. A pair of oars is disposed in the inner chamber between the seat and cycling assembly. Partitions such as sliding curtains or moveable walls may be places around each exercise device to isolate the exercise devices and central area, thus permitting users to exercise in privacy.
