181 Starting platform wedge assembly US11206375 2005-08-17 US07543415B2 2009-06-09 Bill Svendsen
An anchor for a rectangular tube employs a wedge assembly, whereby rotation of an adjustment bolt of the wedge assembly moves an upper and lower wedge member together, and the wedge engagement with a central wedge member causes said central wedge member to move toward engagement with the tube, thereby securing the tube within a base body. Clevis pins and corresponding key hole slots mount the wedge assembly to a base, while allowing easy removal of the wedge when desired.
182 Swimming device and method for restraining a swimmer within a body of water US11893148 2007-08-15 US07442151B1 2008-10-28 Carlos Eduardo Berdegue
A device for restraining a swimmer in a variety of settings including a post, tie portion, tether assembly, and restraining belt coupled to the tether assembly and swimmer. An anchor assembly provides an anchoring collar fixed at one end and in sliding engagement with the post at another end. In operation, a swimmer applies a variable tension from the restraining belt across the tether assembly to the tie portion of the post. In sliding engagement with the post, the anchoring collar provides a tensile force to the post to counteract the swimmer's variable tension and to maintain the post both in a longitudinal position within the body of water and in continuous contact with the underwater floor. The device may include a base assembly that is releasably coupled to the post and enables the post to pivot in the direction of the tensile force applied by the tethered swimmer.
183 Systems and methods for developing correct mechanics of a swimming flip turn US11109223 2005-04-18 US07377784B2 2008-05-27 David E. Ryland
Systems and methods for providing and using a teaching aid that enables swimmers to develop correct mechanics and movement patterns of a flip turn. A teaching aid is provided that functions to expedite the teaching and learning of proper flip turn mechanics by providing an object for a swimmer to place his/her hands on and press down for support, tactile feedback and spatial orientation as the swimmer learns to initiate and perform a proper flip turn. Utilization of the teaching aid allows a swimmer to feel and move through the proper mechanics of the flip turn, thereby expediting the swimmer's ability to perform the turn without assistance.
184 Swimming pool touchpad US11052984 2005-02-07 US07358456B1 2008-04-15 Ryan T. Julian; Richard A. Farnsworth
A sealed two-plate swimming pool touchpad construction that is unaffected by pressure, in which a resilient, compressible, non-conductive spacer material such as rubber tubing is seated in an array of spaced recesses or grooves on the inside face of the rear plate to insulatively space a conductive, flexible front plate from the rear plate. The front plate is joined and sealed in watertight fashion to the rear plate around the array of grooves and spacer material. Conductive portions of the inside face of the front plate are flexed into switch-closing/signaling contact with conductive portions of the inside face of the rear plate between the spacer material when a swimmer makes contact with the front plate.
185 Swimming training apparatus US11497439 2006-08-02 US20080028510A1 2008-02-07 Chin-Ming Chang
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.
186 Aquatic amusement toy US11037369 2005-01-19 US07186162B2 2007-03-06 Herman Chiang

In use the buoyant body is coupled with the underwater member and sinks in water such that the first protruding shell or the second protruding shell keeps the buoyant body at a predetermined height above the bottom of water, and when the underwater member is depressed to disengage from the buoyant body, said buoyant body floats to the surface of the water and the underwater member remains immersed.
187 Swim training and buoyancy assist device US11254414 2005-10-20 US07185598B1 2007-03-06 Jen-Fan Lan; Jenn-Jian Lan
A swim training and buoyancy assist device for an anchoring device has a resilient element and a resilient tether. The anchoring device is located at a certain location beside a swimming pool. The resilient element has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the resilient element is connected to the anchoring device. The resilient tether has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the resilient tether is connected to the distal end of the resilient element. The distal end of the resilient tether is connected to a swimmer. When the swimmer is connected to the resilient element and the resilient tether, the swimmer can only move a short distance in a certain direction and is buoyed up at a certain depth in the water so that the swimmer, especially a beginner, can practice swimming in a small area without the fear of drowning.
