Abstract: Disclosed is a swim trainer using a laterally displaceable torso support pad and two cables interconnecting the swimmer's opposite hands and feet: right hand with left foot, left hand with right foot. It incorporates tension physics with applied tension force displacement wherein the torso is supported with two degrees of motion, i.e., hinged front-to-back tilt and left-to-right displacement of the torso. The user's opposite hands and feet are interconnected by cables passing through pulleys located below the torso. As the user performs a simulated swim stroke, force is asserted on the cable ends, moving the entire body to the right or left along a defined lateral displacement path. The user controls the swimming stroke speed, therefore controlling the amount of resistance applied between hands and feet based on the lateral motion torso speed against torso weight pressing down on the central support.

Abstract: A new type of exercise machine for full body and cardiovascular fitness enthusiasts. It incorporates the properties of tension physics with applied tension force displacement wherein the users' torso is attached to a moving part that tilts and is centralized along a path of lease resistance (B) and the users' hands and feet are fixed at point A and point C of that path. Having the users' hands at point (A) attached to a cable that passes through the same central point (B) by why of a pulley and proceeding to the opposite foot; point (C). The user will then, in a simulated swim stroke assert force on both ends of the cable thus moving the entire body to the right or to the left. During this movement the user has at his/her discretion the amount of resistance applied between the hands and the feet.
