ABSTRACT:
A swimming pool lane marker for the visually impaired generally includes a perforated tube that extends the length of a swimming pool. The perforated tube is in fluid communication with a source of compressed gas, such as an air compressor. The air compressor delivers pressurized air to the tube. The pressurized air escapes through the perforations forming a line of bubbles along the swimming lane. The blind swimmer can feel these bubbles and determine his position in the swimming lane. The perforated tube is held under the water by a wire that extends between a pair of frame assemblies that connect the wire to the sidewall of the pool. Pads may be carried on the frame assemblies to protect the swimmer from the sidewall.
