A multiple strand pool noodle is provided. The multiple strand pool noodle has at least two strands formed of extruded foam where each of the strands has a first end and a second end. The first ends of the strands are contained in a first end member and the second ends of the strand are contained in a second end member. A length of the strands extends between the first and second end members. The strands are movable with respect to each other along the length.

This is the introduction of stabilized stationary kickboard training to the health and fitness industry. TKS Hydrakick system is a stationary aquatic kickboard. The use of this product is for leg kicking exercises in water. Aging and quadriceps decline are the origin of this products creation.

TKS is anchored to the swimming pool wall or deck by two separate lines having equal tension when in use. The buoyancy of the kickboard is adjustable to accommodate persons of different body weight and for the preferred level of floatation. The handle grips positions will permit user to exercise in the prone or supine positions. Board and handle grips will provide high stability to do high intensity leg kicking action. This equipment is able to detach for removal from pool.

TKS Hydrakick system will be used for exercise, physical therapy, relaxation or recreation. TKS hydrakicking is optimal lower extremity exercise and does not cause trauma to the legs.

A variable buoyancy swimming device and swim methodology for teaching beginner swimmers how to swim and achieve independent, non-supported swimming skill. The present device assists in teaching and learning swimming by providing stability in the water and variable buoyancy for learning swimmers. A back float with a belt attached to at least one additional float with a twist lock mechanism for easy buoyancy adjustment for swimmers who need buoyancy assistance. The removal of buoyant float pieces once the swimmer has achieved specific swim milestones and skills allows a safe transition based on skill development while providing buoyancy and safety under parent or coach supervision ultimately achieving the goal of an independent swimmer with proper technique in a methodical system.

A flotation apparatus includes an elongate, buoyant body having first and second opposite, longitudinal ends and a hollow core defining a passageway extending between the first and second ends; and a first plug entirely located within the hollow core proximate the first longitudinal end and a second plug entirely located within the hollow core proximate the second longitudinal end. The first and second plugs are configured to prevent bugs, mice, and snakes from entering the passageway extending between the first and second plugs. Each of the first and second plugs defines openings therein for venting moisture from the passageway extending between and enclosed by the first and second plugs. The first and second plugs engage in a frictional fit with a wall of the passageway defined by the hollow core and do not protrude out of the passageway. The flotation apparatus preferably is a pool noodle.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a buoyant device including a body composed of a material with a specific gravity less than 0.3. The body is composed of a portion between a first distance and a second distance from an axis. The body includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. Differences of the first portion and distance differences of the second portion are less than a distance difference of the third portion. The first portion includes a first difference group and a second difference group composed of a plurality of distance differences, and distance differences of the first difference group are greater than distance differences of the second difference group. The second portion is located away from the axis relative to the first portion.
