  • annular chamber C ' is formed between the inner wall of the tube 102b and the outer wall of the tube 13. This annular chamber C' is closed at the bottom by a sealing ring 103a, and upper part by a joint 103b.
  • the wall of the tube 13, in its portion constantly covered by the tube 102b, is pierced with one or more through holes, preferably of oblong shape, which make it possible to communicate the inside of the tube 13 with the annular chamber C ', and supplying water to the chamber C 'from the tube 13.
  • the tube 102b has a T-fitting 102c, which forms a main water inlet A2 (FIG. 10) for the module 10.
  • This main water intake A2 is connected to one end of a duct 102d. , and makes it possible to put in communication the annular chamber C 'of water discharge with the duct 102d, for the water supply of this duct.
  • the other end of the conduit 102d is connected at the input to a three-way valve 109a.
  • This valve 109a is connected at the outlet to the nozzles 100 of the block 10 swimming against the current by means of flexible tubes and a four-way valve 109b.
  • This four-way valve 109b is connected at the output to the nozzles 110 of the massage module 11.
  • the nozzles 110 of the massage module 11 are thus supplied with water from the module 10 swimming against the current.
  • the massage module 11 comprises two main flexible pipes 116 and 117 forming respectively two main water admissions A'2 ( Figure 8).
  • the main tubing 116 is connected at one end to an outlet of the valve 109b, and at its other end to the network of lateral nozzles 110 (columns 110a) via successively a T-connection (masked in FIG. 8) and secondary ducts 116a.
  • the main tubing 117 is connected at one end to an outlet of the valve 109b, and at its other end to the network of backbone nozzles 110 (columns 110b) via a T-fitting 117a.
  • the tube 12 of the device comprises at least one water suction opening (not visible in the drawings) which is formed in the lower part of the tube 12 (for example below the level of the massage module 11), and which is preferably oriented towards the side wall of the basin.
  • This water intake opening may further be equipped with a grid or a filter or equivalent, to prevent the penetration of any foreign body in the water circuit.
  • the main tubes are not necessarily rigid tubes.
  • the device could, in a so-called monotube version, comprise a tube partitioned by at least one internal longitudinal wall into at least two compartments, or a single main tube, preferably rigid, at the inside which have passed one or more conduits for the supply of fluid (s) of the jet production modules.
  • the massage module 11 is not necessarily supplied with water and air from the counter-current swimming module 10, but can be connected directly to the main tubes 12 and 13, without passing through the module 10. More particularly, and in a manner comparable to that previously described for the module 10, the module 11 may comprise fluid discharge chambers (C or C ') for a feed of nozzles of the module at different positions of the module 11 with respect to the main rigid tubes 12, 13
  • the main tube or tubes 12, 13 which connect the jet production modules to the technical unit are not necessarily mobile with respect to the technical block, but may, in a less advanced embodiment, be fixed with respect to the technical block.
  • each main tube 12, 13 could be movable in translation relative to the technical block for example by sliding relative to the housing of the technical block. This mobility with respect to the technical block can also combine a rotation and a translation.
  • the support (tubes 12, 13) supporting the jet production modules 10, 11 and the seat 17 is not necessarily of the tubular type, but may more generally be constituted by any structure mechanically connecting the nozzles to the technical unit.
  • the support (tubes 12, 13) is not necessarily rigid.
  • the support whatever its structure, is not necessarily articulated in rotation with respect to the technical block, but is more generally mobile with respect to this technical block, the essential thing being that this support is mobile with respect to in the technical block 14 between an operating position and a transport position in which the device can preferably be manipulated and moved maintaining the technical block in contact with the ground.
  • the support could be movable in translation with respect to the technical block, for example by sliding relative to the housing of the technical block.
  • the mobility of the support compared to the technical block can also combine a rotation and a translation.
  • the device can, in a so-called monotube version, comprise a tube partitioned by at least one internal longitudinal wall into at least two compartments, or a single main tube , preferably rigid, inside which are passed one or more conduits for the supply of fluid (s) of the jet production modules.
  • the technical block comprises a turbine 144 which makes it possible to discharge air towards the nozzles of the modules 10 and 11.
  • all or part of the nozzles of a module could only work by venturi effect; in this case, it is sufficient to provide for the module nozzles an air intake outside the pond water.
  • This air intake can be achieved by means for example of an air duct such as the duct 15 previously described, said duct not being in this case connected to a turbine or the like, but opening to the open air to ensure the required air intake.
  • the main tubes 12, 13 bear on the bottom of the basin.
  • This characteristic although preferential, is not essential.
  • the device can be designed so that when fitted to a pool, it does not rest on the bottom of the pool, but is supported on the vertical wall or walls of the pool.
  • a device of the invention may combine a support on the bottom of the basin and a lateral support on the vertical wall or walls of the basin.
  • the technical block 14 is positioned outside the pond water. Nevertheless, in the context of the invention, it is also conceivable to produce a device whose technical block 14 is completely or partially immersed, once the device adapted to a basin.
  • the device may comprise a jet production module, whose nozzles are out of the water when the device is adapted to a basin, and which makes it possible to produce, outside the water basin, jets directed towards the basin such as for example jets that form one or more cascades of water falling into the basin.
