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.

A training aid to correct arm position during the pulling phase of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, or crawl also referred to as freestyle, when swimming. The disclosed tool provides physical pressure to correct a common swimming error. Said tool prevents medial rotation of the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder rotator cuff during the catch and pull portion of swimming.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pool noodle cap for protecting a pool noodle when not being utilized. The pool noodle cap is useful for preventing debris, bugs, mice and snakes from entering into any open spaces of the pool noodle. Further, the pool noodle cap is useful for a person storing the pool noodles so when summer comes, they can be instantly ready for a pool or beach without having to wash out the pool noodle or check for snakes, mice and bugs.

A swimming board having a buoyant board body having an upper surface defining, with a continuous body sidewall, a channel recessed into the board body and disposed proximal to the second end of the board body and having a strap fastening assembly coupled to the board body and with a groin strap and a waist strap that define apertures for receiving a user's legs and retaining the user to the board body.

Disclosed is a swimming assistance apparatus, which is worn on a user's both feet to provide the user with buoyancy, such that the user can float on water and swim in a good swimming style while repeatedly moving the waist from side to side like a fish, thereby reinforcing the user's waist muscles. Persons who have knee joint arthralgia or backache or persons who have disability in the lower body can use the swimming assistance apparatus for medical purposes, such as pain relief or treatment.

A kickboard has a non-planar shape and comprises a primary panel with opposite support members laterally outside from the primary panel with a transitional section therebetween. The support members are at a rear longitudinal position and additional support shoulders may extend from a forward end of the primary panel along each lateral side to a respective support member. The rearward end defines an opening with a cavity formed between the primary panel, transitional sections, support shoulders and support members. In use, the kickboard provides substantially improved ergonomics and allows a swimmer to support her elbows on the support members with a portion of her forearms on the support shoulders, with arms in a bent position below the surface of the water. The configuration improves comfort while maintaining a favorable hydrodynamic swimming position and reducing shoulder stress.

The present invention relates to an aquatic strengthening device which comprises of a rigid or semi rigid board and at each end a floating device is attached. The board is sufficiently strong to permit an individual to stand on it. The floating devices have enough buoyancy that allows for the board to float up to a desired altitude. There are openings next to where the floating devices are so an individual can hold the board with his hands. The floating devices are attached in such a way that the perpendicular distance to the rigid board can be changed so an individual can obtain the buoyancy needed.

The invention is directed to improve the body alignment in the water of a swimmer. The head band sits on the back of the head allowing the rod to extend down the back to between the shoulder blades. This limits two motions that are undesirable for efficient swimming of the crawl stroke: inappropriate lifting of the head from the neck and over rotating the neck. This lowered neck position and limited neck rotation forces the swimmer to rotate more from the torso in order to clear the water with their mouth and breath and keep the swimmer in an improved body position.
