ABSTRACT:
A swimming frame for competition in swimming, swimming instruction, muscle strengthening, and entertainment in the water comprises a pair of floats (1), a clamping unit (2, 3), and a paddle unit (4, 5, 6). It might be used by everyone regardless of the ability to swim. The paddle unit might by modified giving an additional possibility to practice butterfly-like and crawl-like style of swimming. A swimmer being clamped between rigid (2) and flexible (3) portion of the clamping unit is producing the push-pull movements of the paddle unit. When he pushes the unit, the paddle (4) is rotated up to horizontal position by the water pressure against its front. When he pulls the unit, the paddle is rotated up to vertical position by water pressure against its back. Because of the difference in the paddle hydroresistance between push and pull movements the swimming frame will be propelled by the swimmer.
