An instep weighting training accessory to be releasably fastened around the instep of a shoe having studs or cleats on its sole is provided. The accessory includes a strip, a weight and a layer of padding material. The strip includes an inner layer intended to be in contact the shoe and a sheath to be arranged on the instep of the shoe. The weight is enclosed inside the sheath and the padding material is located between the weight and the inner layer of the strip. In an alternative, an instep weighting training set having a plurality of training accessories is provided.

A sports game ring comprising an inflatable ring having a central aperture, opposed top and bottom surfaces having a thickness, inner and outer edge surfaces, wherein the top and bottom surfaces and the inner and outer edge surfaces define an enclosed volume, and wherein the top and bottom surfaces each have a recessed volume therein having a depth less than the thickness of the top and bottom surfaces.

A self-inflating swimming aid comprises a flotation member having a core of open cell foam closely encompassed in a waterproof casing of impermeable plastic. An inflation valve allows fluid communication with the foam core through the cover. The device is inflated by opening the valve so that the foam core may assume its expanded shape, and is deflated by compressing the foam core to force the air out of the flotation member through the valve. Once the flotation member is deflated to a desirable size and shape, the valve may be closed and the device may be folded or rolled up for storage.

A tire-like exercise device having a substantially round outer periphery and a non-round inner periphery. The non-round inner periphery may be substantially rectangular and have one or more flat regions to provide hand and toe holds for performing various exercises. A first valve allows the firmness of the Never Tire exercise apparatus to be adjusted by increasing or decreasing inner air pressure. A second larger valve allows ballast, such as water or sand, to be input to the device to stabilize the apparatus against slipping and sliding.

A swim cap for persons having long hair includes a shell preferably having at least two interconnected compartments for receiving and encapsulating the hair of a user. The swim cap is secured around the head of a user by at least one draw string or adjustable band positioned within a channel near the open end of the swim cap as well as a chin strap extending downwardly from the cap. The interconnected compartments can be inflated to provide buoyancy. The shell further includes an outer layer and an inner layer defining a space therebetween that can also be inflated, or comprised of buoyant material, to provide buoyancy. A pump, compressed air canister or manual filler tube in communication with the interconnected compartments or space within the shell can be used to provide inflation. A pair of ear flaps extends downwardly from the swim cap around a user's head.

A trampoline comprising a trampoline frame having legs. The trampoline frame has a trampoline frame horizontal portion. A trampoline bed is suspended across the trampoline frame horizontal portion. Springs extend between the trampoline frame and trampoline bed. An enclosure is connected to the trampoline frame. The enclosure has an enclosure upper support. The enclosure supports an enclosure net. A pad system covers the springs. The pad system includes a wall pad extending upwardly from the springs and terminating at a pad system apex. The pad system further includes a buttress pad connected to the pad system apex at an apex angle from the wall pad, which is defined as an angle between a wall pad outside surface and the buttress pad. The buttress pad extends downwardly to cover at least partially the trampoline frame horizontal portion.

A buoyancy assistance kit including a belt for surrounding part of the trunk of a user and two armbands each surrounding part of an arm of said user respectively, the belt and the armbands each including at least one element arranged so as to ensure a buoyancy assistance function, each armband being connected to said belt by an element, each element having an elasticity which allows the relative position of the armband to be adapted in relation to the belt when being worn.

A trampoline has a trampoline bed, a set of trampoline springs, and a trampoline frame retaining the trampoline bed. The trampoline frame has a horizontal tube frame. The horizontal tube frame is made in sections. A corrugated upper surface is formed on the horizontal tube frame including an inside tube connected to an outside tube. An inside tube has an inside tube wave top and an outside view has an outside tube wave top. Preferably, the horizontal tube frame further includes a corrugated lower surface formed on the inside tube and on outside tube so that the inside tube has an inside tube wave bottom and the outside tube has an outside tube wave bottom.

A game comprises a plurality of containers positioned in a predetermined arrangement, wherein each of the plurality of containers is defined by a base and one or more sidewalls extending upward therefrom; and one or more balls, wherein the each of the plurality of containers is configured to receive the one or more balls, wherein the game is configured to be played by one or more users.

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.
