The ability for a non-swimmer or unskilled swimmer to float horizontally in the water can be lifesaving and can reduce the incidence of drowning deaths. Swim training devices to facilitate teaching of basic flotation techniques to non-swimmers, unskilled swimmers, and for use in rehabilitation therapy and general aqua therapy are disclosed herein. The devices and methods are designed to encourage, facilitate, and increase psychological comfort with floating in a horizontal position, versus a vertical position. The swim trainer device includes a body and a float which may be mounted coplanar with the body, and may be adjustable. Multiple uses and configurations are discussed for use by swim instructors and others working with infants, toddlers, children, and adults.

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a GPS directional swimming watch for the eyesight impaired. For example, according to one embodiment there is a wearable navigational apparatus including: a mechanical input to receive coordinates for a first location located at an end of a first fixed segment originating from an starting point in a first single cardinal direction; a mechanical input to receive coordinates for a second location located at the end of a second fixed segment originating from the first location in a second single cardinal direction perpendicular to the first cardinal direction, in which the first and second fixed segments form a selected route; a haptic feedback motor having a magnetized compass integrated therein to signal a wearer directional information relative to the first and second locations set, in which the hepatic feedback motor signals the wearer to change direction upon any of: (i) reaching the first location, (ii) reaching the second location, and (iii) deviating from any point along the selected route during bidirectional navigation; and a return function to signal to the wearer, via the haptic feedback motor, directional information relative to the starting point from any point along the selected course. Other related embodiments are described.
