ABSTRACT:
A swimmer training apparatus for securement substantially within the side walls of a swimming tank. The apparatus comprises a collapsable support frame including at least one upstanding support arm having a lower side wall engaging element and an upper lateral restraint means for pivotal coupling with either the side wall lip, the outside of the deck, or the rope junction receptacle of the swimming tank side wall. Extending from the tank side wall towards the middle of the swimming tank, the support frame is attached to the swimmer by means of a flexible tether connected to a detachable, load distributing harness which is disposed about the waist of the swimmer. Such a portable swimmer training apparatus provides the swimmer with a commodius means of shock-dampened restraint confining the swimmer to a particular area of the pool while allowing him lateral maneuverability for the practice of various swimming strokes. The apparatus is advantageously constructed so as to permit attachment to the pool without modification thereto.
