ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the swimming apparatus shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,512,416 wherein a waistband in the form of a pair of members is fastened around the waist of a swimmer, the outer member being pivotably connected to a slidable telescopic member which is mounted on the side of a pool; associated with the apparatus are a shock absorber to restrain the telescopic movement and an effort meter to register the movement by the swimmer. In the improvement, an endless belt is attached to a support structure extending over the water. The endless belt is attached to an adjustable pulley member on the support structure and adapted to be double-looped around the swimmer's waist. A belt guide is positioned between the pulley member and the swimmer to hold the endless belt in position.
