The rigid structure also has mounted on it a drive mechanism (52) terminating in a propeller (86) located below the user's hips so as to cause the body to rotate to a good swimming position and provide powered motion to the user. A forward held buoyancy board (96) has side handles (98) and a control (100) for controlling the drive mechanism (52). A buoyant vest (54) is worn on the user's chest.</p> |
