The water propulsion means comprises: a water jet n ozzle mounted to the interface portion of the steering means; and a flexible hose, a f irst end releaseably connectable with the nozzle and a second end releaseably connectable to an external source of pressurized water. It is contemplated that commercial embodim ents of the invention will include water propulsion means comprising velocity control va lve means for manually controlling the flow of water to the water jet nozzle and the secon d end of the hose being releaseably connectable to the water filtration system of a swimm ing pool.
