Abstract: A swim training aid apparatus is provided for use on a limb of a swimmer, during a swimming motion. The training aid includes a flexible band member configured to extend circumferentially around the limb, and a lock device cooperating with the band member to releasably retain the same around the swimmer's limb. The training aid further includes a substantially non-absorbent, flexible material sheath having one end thereof mounted to the band member, and an opposite end thereof extending distally past and terminating beyond the limb.

Abstract: A swim training aid apparatus including a relatively thin plate member having a first and second surface separated by a leading edge on one end of the plate member, and a trailing edge on an opposite end. The leading edge is such that when the training aid apparatus is operationally mounted to the swimmer's hand, the swimmer is capable of articulating at least their intermediary phalanges of the hand over the leading edge, to a gripping position. The trailing edge is configured to extend proximally past the wrist joint of the swimmer The plate member includes wrist recess formed and dimensioned for articulating receipt of the swimmer's wrist joint therein. A retaining device cooperates with the plate member and the swimmer's hand to releasably retain the same to the training aid apparatus in the operating position.
