PCT No. PCT/EP88/00729 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 19, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 19, 1989 PCT Filed Aug. 16, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/02391 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 23, 1989.The appliance for assisting a swimmer in swimming, floating and being towed by a boat, includes a substantially board-shaped floating body having a leading edge and a trailing edge each of which have a V-shaped cross section. The floating body has a glass panel with a transverse reinforcing web mounted centrally therein so that the swimmer can observe through the floating body. The floating body has two longitudinal sides each having a handle in the shape of an arcuate protrusion projecting therefrom. Each of the handles is located in the middle of its longitudinal side, and the longitudinal sides are divided by a central transverse axis, each of the handles having a through-going handle opening positioned between the transverse axis and the leading edge. Fastening means, such as screws, are provided on each handle and a tow rope is attached to each of the fastening means by one of its two ends. The middle portion of the rope is attachable to the boat, preferably by a trailing rope from the boat, so that the swimmer may be towed by the boat while executing lateral gliding motions or diving below the water's surface.
