Abstract
The present invention provides a submersible pool platform including a body portion having at least one side panel and a base portion, a platform portion having a non-slip surface, at least one anchoring means and at least one safety warning means whereby the submersible pool platform provides a collapsible platform adapted to reduce the depth of water to a safe level for children when standing on the platform and helps stabilize an inexperienced swimmer experiencing difficulty.
Description
- This invention relates to swimming pools and associated swimming aids and equipment, and, in particular, to a submersible pool platform which provides a collapsible platform adapted to reduce the depth of water to a safe level for children when standing on the platform and help stabilize an inexperienced swimmer experiencing difficulty. While the invention may be applied to any person for use in any suitable body of water, for convenience sake it shall be described herein in terms of a submersible pool platform for use by children in a swimming pool.
- Most swimming pools are too deep for children or inexperienced swimmers to use. Even the shallow end of most pools is too deep for young children with the water being above their head height. This means that it is difficult for the child or inexperienced swimmer to fully enjoy the pool, and more importantly renders the pool unsafe for such users. Children and inexperienced swimmers need to gain confidence in deeper water gradually, through exposure to a water level safe for them and then building up to deeper water levels. It is not practical to build pools with excessively shallow swimming ends because as the child grows and becomes more experienced in deeper water such a shallow level of water is not necessary.
- In any event, even if a specific pool is adapted to accommodate children or inexperienced swimmers they are limited to using that certain pool and not other pools, which can be inconvenient if on holidays, visiting friends, or learning to swim in other pools.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a submersible pool platform which provides a collapsible platform adapted to reduce the depth of water to a safe level for children when standing on the platform and help stabilise an inexperienced swimmer experiencing difficulty.
- The present invention provides a submersible pool platform including:
- a body portion having at least one side panel and a base portion;
a platform portion having a non-slip surface;
at least one anchoring means; and
at least one safety warning means whereby the submersible pool platform provides a collapsible platform adapted to reduce the depth of water to a safe level for children when standing on the platform and help stabilize an inexperienced swimmer experiencing difficulty. - It is preferred that part, or all, of the body portion is collapsible when the platform is not in use so that it can be easily transported and installed at different locations and/or stored away.
- The body portion preferably has at least one, preferably four, side panels adapted to form the exterior of the submersible pool platform. The side panels are adapted to be integrally formed with each other and/or along the outer edges of the base portion so that they extend vertically upward therefrom.
- The side panels and base portion, preferably, have provided at least one aperture which is adapted to allow water to pass through, wherein the aperture(s) is/are preferably in the form of a slit or hole.
- The platform portion is preferably integrally formed with the side panels/body portion and/or connected thereto via any other suitable means fastening or securing means and is adapted to have a non-slip surface.
- It is preferred that the safety warning means is in the form of a warning flag attached to the body portion and made from a flexible material so that it will easily flex under the weight of a small child thereby preventing injury in the event contact does occur.
- It is preferred that the anchoring means is in the form of a suction cup or rubber mount/stopper which is adapted to be mounted to the underside of the base portion in order to secure the platform to a pool floor.
- The platform portion is preferably adapted to have provided an interconnecting means, preferably in the form of lipped edge or flanged portion surrounding the entire perimeter of the platform portion, to enable one or more platforms to be interconnected to create a larger stabilised submersible pool platform.
- In order that the invention may be more readily understood we will describe by way of non-limiting example specific embodiments thereof.
