Abstract

The stabilizer devices for aquatic deep water exercise and a device for aquatic exercise are disclosed. The stabilizers may be fixed to the side walls or bottom of a container of water to hold a person in an exercising position. The stabilizers may be portable or fixed permanently in position on a container of water. The stabilizers may be rigid or flexible, may be completely immersed in water. An air supply for under water breathing is provided.

Claims

1. A deep water exercise pool having a bottom and side walls whereby a completely immersed exercising person can use an exercise device above his head without the device reaching the surface of the water while exercising;

a body engaging stabilizer means on said bottom of said pool to hold said person in place while exercising; and

,

an air supply and a breathing means connecting the exercising person to said air supply, said air supply means supported adjacent said pool to supply air to the exercising person from outside said pool.

2. The pool recited in claim 1 wherein a base is secured to said bottom of said pool and a stabilizing means for engaging the body of the person for holding the person in place is supported on said base.

3. The pool recited in claim 2 wherein said stabilizing means comprises foot engaging means attached to said base to hold a foot of the person in place.

4. The pool recited in claim 2 wherein said stabilizing means comprises a chair attached to said base;

and,

said chair having an attaching means for attaching a flexible belt thereto for stabilizing said person.

5. The pool recited in claim 2 wherein said stabilizing means comprises spaced leg members secured to said base;

and,

a body engaging means on said leg members for engaging the mid section of the body of said person using said pool.

7. The pool recited in claim 1 wherein said golf club simulated device having a water resistant device to be swung above the head of a user whereby the resistance function of said device is maintained throughout an exercise.

17. The pool recited in claim 1 wherein the air supply includes tubes extending from the air supply into the pool;

a breathing means is attached to said air tubes and is to be supported on the face of the person while the person is exercising.

20. The pool recited in claim 1 wherein the exercise device comprises a paddle on the end of a handle for swinging in the water to simulate a golf club swing.

6. A deep water exercising pool having a depth whereby an individual may be completely immersed in water while exercising with a golf club simulated device;

said pool having a bottom and side walls;

a body engaging stabilizing means supported on said bottom for engaging the body for stabilizing said individual in the water;

an air supply means being supported adjacent said pool to supply air to the exercising person from outside said pool;

said air supply means having a connecting means to connect breathing equipment to the individual'"'"'s face whereby the individual can be supplied air while exercising under the water.

16. The pool recited in claim 6 wherein the air supply means includes air tubes which extend into the pool;

a breathing means is attached to the air tubes and provided to be supported on the face of the individual while the individual is exercising.

22. The pool recited in claim 6 wherein the golf club simulated device comprises a paddle on the end of a handle.

8. A deep water exercising pool for immersing an exercising person;

said pool having a bottom and side walls;

a body engaging stabilizing means for engaging the person using said pool for stabilizing the person during exercise;

air supply means supported adjacent said pool to supply air to the person from outside the pool.

9. The pool recited in claim 8 further comprising exercising devices which include paddles on the end of handles for swinging in the water to simulate a golf club swing.

10. The pool recited in claim 8 wherein an air supply is supported adjacent said pool and air tubes extend from said air supply into said water and a breathing means is provided to be supported on the face of the person while said person is exercising.

11. The pool recited in claim 10 wherein said exercising devices comprise said exercise device having a means to attach to the head to exercise the neck muscles of a person.

12. The pool recited in claim 10 wherein a supply of air is provided for the person;

said supply of air includes a head set for conducting said air to the person.

13. The pool recited in claim 11 wherein an exercise device includes a helmet and a resistance element on said helmet for neck exercise.

14. The pool recited in claim 9 wherein said devices includes a simulated golf club.

15. A method of exercising in a body of water comprising;

providing an air supply, a body engaging stabilizing device and an aquatic exercise device; and

,

exercising in the body of water using said air supply and said body engaging stabilizer.

18. The method of exercising recited in claim 15 wherein said air supply means is provided adjacent said body of water and air is provided to a person from outside the body of water.

19. The method of exercising recited in claim 18 further comprising extending air tubes from said air supply into said body of water;

attaching a breathing means to said air tubes;

supporting the breathing means on the face of the person while exercising.

21. The method recited in claim 15 wherein the aquatic exercise device provided comprises a paddle on the end of a handle.
