  • Publication number: 20070006374
    Abstract: It is a platform fit to be disposed over the water mass retained in a swimming pool, or the like, and to act as a receiving platform for a person, placed on same, to be able to enter into and submerge in the water as a consequence of the vertical descending movements, and then emerge by means of the ascent produced by the same platform in said water mass. The novelty is that said submergible platform is a hollow, light and rigid vessel that has a top horizontal floor, from which lateral walls are projected are facing downwards (when situated in the water), defining an internal precinct that remains in communication with the exterior by means of, at least, one air entry and exit conduit produced by the said ascending and descending movements of said platform in the water mass; said movements being guided by vertical guides disposed adjacently to the internal face of the swimming pool wall, along which the corresponding sliding carts projecting from the platform are driven.
