ABSTRACT:
A dry-training apparatus for simulating crawl swimming movements includes deflection rollers and a braking device for the deflection rollers. An endless traction member guided over the deflection rollers has an endless belt of hard elastic material with a surface, a lower strand, and an upper strand that can sag elastically toward the lower strand. A supporting element is disposed above the traction member. At least three handles are firmly joined to the surface of the revolving belt for moving the traction member in alternation by two hands of a user located on the supporting element. The handles are disposed at a mutual spacing causing a resting and synchronizing phase to necessarily ensue between two exertions of force on successive handles, in which phase the traction member moves onward solely by its moment of inertia.
