A swimming assistance accessory includes a holder to hold the accessory during swimming; a float allowing the water to exert, on the accessory, a vertical force resulting from buoyancy opposing gravity; and a weight allowing the barycenter of the holder to be maintained substantially below the surface of the water when the accessory is in a balance position in water.

A device and method for enhancing swimming exercises which can be used with the swimmer's legs, hands and head. The device can be a closed cell EVA foam sphere having opposite sides formed into concave cavities. The cavities permit a swimmer to position the device between his/her knees and against which the swimmer must apply leg-closing pressure. This causes the swimmer to maintain streamline during the entire pulling phase of the arm movement of the swimming stroke. With the device positioned at the same location, breaststroke kick training can also be enhanced as it causes the swimmer to apply pressure to maintain proper knee distance during kicking. Alternatively, the device can be held in one hand while the other hand is used to implement the particular swim stroke, and the device can be exchanged easily to the other hand. The device can also be placed under the chin during swimming exercises.

The invention concerns a swimming float presenting an upper wall whereon the distal part of an arm of a user is intended to be fixed and a lower propelling wing, the float being equipped with at least one fixing device comprising at least one strap which is arranged to be able to support the distal part on said upper wall, the fixing device having at least one loop and an adjusting element, each one connected to the upper wall being spaced out transversally on both sides of the upper wall, the strap being joined sliding into the loop while presenting a free end which is arranged to be able to be bound in the adjusting element by adjusting the size between the strap and the upper wall.

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.

The bilateral kicking board includes a body formed of a buoyant material and comprises first and second sides facing each other and extending in a lengthwise direction and third and fourth sides facing each other and extending in a widthwise direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. The first and second sides have a same length in the lengthwise direction, and the third and fourth sides have a same width in the widthwise direction. The length of the first and second sides being longer than the width of the third and fourth sides. A plurality of fasteners are provided on a surface of the body. The plurality of fasteners is sequentially arranged along the lengthwise direction, and each of the fasteners is configured to fasten a different respective part of a swimmer's hand to the bilateral kicking board.

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.
