Swimming and diving aid having a camera
11401018 · 2022-08-02 · ·

The invention relates to a swimming and diving aid, having a hull which comprises a flow channel or with which a flow channel is associated, a motor-driven water acceleration arrangement, in particular a propeller, being associated with the flow channel; having a support surface for an upper body on an upper side of the hull; having grips mounted on the swimming and diving aid, control elements for controlling the water acceleration arrangement by means of an associated motor controller being provided on the grips; and having a display, facing toward the support surface, for showing operating parameters of the swimming and diving aid. Provision can be made in this context that a forward-directed front camera is integrated into the hull in front of the support surface in a direction of travel, and is connected to an electronic control system; that the electronic control system is embodied to apply control to the front camera and to receive camera signals; and that a switching element for starting and ending a video capture is arranged on at least one grip. The invention makes possible the acquisition of video captures in the travel direction of the swimming and diving aid.

An underwater scooter includes a scooter body, a duct, a motor, and a propeller. The scooter body includes a body part, a side part defining a first through hole, and a plurality of stopping members disposed on an inner wall of the first through hole. A gap is defined between every two adjacent stopping members. The duct includes a surrounding member defining a second through hole, a supporting member connected to an inner wall of the surrounding member, and a plurality of engaging members disposed on an outer wall of the surrounding member and spaced apart from each other. Each of the plurality of engaging members passes through a corresponding gap between two adjacent stopping members and abuts against two opposite sides of a corresponding one of the plurality of stopping members after rotating with respect to the corresponding one of the plurality of stopping members.

Repulsion-based swim system and methods for use thereof
11097177 · 2021-08-24 · ·

In one aspect, a swim system may include a reverse thrust system worn by a swimmer proximate the frontal upper torso. The system provides a variable amount of reverse thrust such that the user can swim-in-place or make gradual forward progress. Importantly, this may enable a user to effectively “extend” a small residential pool to serve the same function as a twenty-five meter pool typically found at commercial or government facilities. The system also provides laminar current under the user while swimming, which solves the problems of “leg drop,” the need to “out-kick” the arm stroke, and turbulence and wave action around the head associated with conventional swim-in-place devices. Still further, in certain embodiments the system provides a relatively strong current in the region of the arm stroke moving away from the swimmer which provides enhanced “resistance” for proficient swimmers.
