Abstract
A bumper that can be placed near the end of a lane and thereby prevent swimmers colliding with the pool wall. The bumper may be partially or completely air-filled or fabricated from a material that renders the bumper buoyant or semi-submerged (e.g., foam); a solid bumper may or may not need to be inflated and may not need to be filled. The bumper may be directly attached to the pool wall using, e.g., an eye hook or ess hook mounted in the wall, or indirectly attached to the pool wall using, e.g., an attachment to a pool lane line.
