Abstract: A counter current swimming apparatus having a tank, first and second water propulsion systems and a computer. The tank is adapted to contain water. The first water propulsion system is positioned about a first end of the tank for generating a current in a first direction and the second water propulsion system is positioned about a second end of the tank for generating a current in a second direction opposite the first direction. The computer is operatively connected to the first and second water propulsion systems and configured to cause the first water propulsion system to generate the current in the first direction, and suspend operations of the first water propulsion system and initiate operations of the second water propulsion system to generate the current in the second direction upon receipt of a transition signal from a push plate of the first water propulsion system.
