  • Publication number: 20080028510
    Abstract: A swimming training apparatus automatically adjusts a user's position at the water surface of a swimming pool according to the user's swimming conditions by a resilient component installed in a position adjusting device. The swimming training apparatus includes an arc support structure, a position adjusting device and a connecting element. When the user swims away from the swimming training apparatus, the pulling force produced by the swimming winds the drive gear to store resilience to the resilient component. The gear set drives two rollers to move the position adjusting device towards a pool side. When the user stops swimming, the resilient component releases the resilience so that the drive gear shortens the connecting element and moves the position adjusting device towards the original position. The invention enables users to swim at different distances within a safe range or flow safely on the water surface of the swimming pool.
