<p>An improved non-inflatable swimming aid (10) is described which is particularly suited in assisting children and the disabled on learning to swim. The swimming aid (10) includes a buoyant belt (12) with a nylon strap (14) which can be fastened around a childs waist by Velcro fasteners (20,22) and which has separate handles (18) attached to the belt for gripping by a swimming teacher. In use, the belt permits freedom of movement of the users arms and legs and also, at the same time, ensures an adequate degree of supervision of the child because the teacher has to hold the belt. Moreover, the swimming aid belt is made of a non-inflatable closed cell PVC foam so that buoyancy is retained and this provides additional confidence to the child. <IMAGE></p> |
