DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a swimming pool containing saltwater to give buoyancy, which provides a plurality of sections for holding saltwater, each section containing different salt densities such that dissimilar levels of buoyancy are provided in the sections to allow a beginning swimmer to gradually familiarize himself or herself to water and more easily learn how to swim.
BACKGROUND ART
Generally, swimming pools use tap water which is treated with chlorine and other chemicals to maintain the water in a clean and ideal pH level state.
There are also swimming pools that utilize water containing germanium (Ge), hot spring water containing sulfur, or other natural waters. The purpose of these swimming pools is to offer health benefits to the swimmer. However, swimmers normally only wade and relax in such swimming pools rather than swim in them.
In conventional swimming pools using treated tap water, the novice swimmer often uses a flotation device such as a tube or a life-jacket until he or she learns how to swim. These flotation devices, although effective when used for safety, are limited in aiding the novice to learn how to swim and can, in fact, be detrimental as the swimmer becomes overly dependent on the flotation device and finds difficulty in weaning himself or herself off from this reliance.
There is a need for swimming pool water which provides buoyancy so that a beginner can become familiarized to the water and learn how to swim. Further, there is a need for a swimming pool which is structured having sections using the above swimming pool water with differing degrees of buoyancy so that the learning process for the swimmer is gradual and, as a result, very effective.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The present invention has been made in an effort to fulfill the above needs.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a swimming pool containing saltwater to both give buoyancy to a swimmer and provide health benefits by stimulating the skin and promoting metabolism inside the body. Further, it is an object to provide a swimming pool having sections filled with the swimming pool water of differing salt densities so that different buoyancy levels are present in each of the sections to gradually accustom the swimmer to the water, helping to aid in the swimming learning process.
To achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a swimming pool filled with water containing salt for buoyancy. The swimming pool is comprised of two or more sections, each section filled with the swimming pool water having differing densities of salt to provide for different buoyancy levels therein. Further, the water in the swimming pool also contains magnesium chloride, calcium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium bromide.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention, and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention:
FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a swimming pool structure having a plurality of sections according to a is preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating a swimming pool laving a single-section structure filled with swimming pool water containing salt according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention uses the following means to achieve the object of providing a swimming pool containing saltwater to enable a swimmer to effortlessly float.
First, density of salt in the water is set at roughly 23-25% to provide buoyancy to the swimmer such that he or she floats.
Second, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium sulfate, potassium sulfate, magnesium bromide, calcium carbonate, etc. are combined to water for added health benefits.
Third, the swimming pool is structured ha
