SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE FOR SWIMMER WINGS
20200206570 · 2020-07-02 ·

A system and method for two swimmer wings designed using biomimicry and inspired by winged creatures/birds of flight as well as the fore flippers of a sea turtle. The swimmer wings are designed for users to traverse long distances instead of relying on personal watercrafts or boats to not only help sustain the environment by reducing the carbon footprint but also provide physical exercise to improve the user's well-being. The swimmer wings include a board, an arm guard which shields the user's forearm, and arm fasteners that secure the user's forearm between the board and the arm guard.

Swim training apparatus for bilateral undulation power development

A swim training apparatus for use as a monofin for bilateral undulation power development. The apparatus includes a flexible, elongated member having a series of securing members, such as through-holes extending from the top surface of the elongated member through to its bottom surface, and fasteners configured and disposed to attach to the securing member, such as straps that can extend through the through-holes, to fasten the apparatus to a user's legs. A weight can be attached using similar attachments and fasteners to the apparatus to increase undulation during use.

Flotation device

A flotation device, particularly suitable for use as a pull buoy or a kickboard is described. The flotation device can include a flotation element and a stem element, which extends from an inner surface of the flotation element. A holding mechanism can be located adjacent to the second end of the stem element. The stem element and holding mechanism can be configured to enable a user to hold onto the flotation device at a point below the surface of the water for use as a kickboard or enable a user to secure the stem element of the flotation device between his/her legs for use as a pull buoy. An embodiment of the stem element can be tapered, which can create forces that assist the user in using the flotation device as either a pull buoy or a kickboard.

Pull buoy
10596434 · 2020-03-24 ·

A flotation component, such as for a pull buoy, can be sized and shaped to be placed between the legs of a swimmer. The flotation component can include one or more features to assist in maintaining the flotation component in place while the swimmer is swimming. A pull buoy including the flotation component also can include an internally routed strap that assists in fastening the flotation component to at least one leg. A pull buoy including the flotation component can include a waist portion having a lateral diameter that decreases from one end to the opposite end.

SWIMMING AID

A swimming aid comprises a body member and a pair of buoyant sleeve members attached to opposite sides of the body member. Each sleeve member is configured to receive an arm of the user therethrough by way of an opening in the sleeve member. Each sleeve member includes an adjustable fastener to allow the expansion of the opening of said sleeve member to facilitate the receipt arm of the user into and through the sleeve member.

AQUATIC EXERCISE DEVICE FOR FULL-BODY WORKOUT AND METHOD OF USE
20200047018 · 2020-02-13 ·

An aquatic exercise device and method of use are described herein. The aquatic exercise device provides for a full body, low impact, and decompressing workout that is unattainable by any existing product on the market.

Buoy assembly
10543888 · 2020-01-28 ·

A buoy assembly for use in water activities includes a shell that defines an interior space. The interior space is substantially empty so that the shell is buoyant. A net is positioned around and coupled to the shell. Each of opposing ends of a line is coupled to the net. A fastener, which is slidably coupled to the line, defines a wrist loop that is positioned distal from the shell. The fastener is selectively fixedly couplable to the line so that the fastener is positioned to be selectively slid on the line toward a wrist of user that is positioned in the wrist loop. The fastener is positioned to fixedly couple to the line to couple the shell to the user.

Kickboard training device

A kickboard training device is provided. The kickboard may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and front, rear, left, and right edges bounding the upper and lower surfaces. The kickboard may include opposing wing portions positioned across a longitudinal centerline extending between the front and rear edges. The kickboard may include one or more surface elements associated with at least one of the upper and lower surfaces. The one or more surface elements may be arranged to define a flotation characteristic of the kickboard. The one or more surface elements may include at least one of a channel defined in at least the upper surface, a plurality of grooves defined in at least the lower surface, and one or more ailerons coupled to the kickboard.
