Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a float swimsuit adapted in its constitution, its shape and its materials so that the child preferably learns to swim in a gradual manner.
  • the float swimsuit object of this invention is conceived as a set of sleeveless vest and neoprene swimsuit with covers distributed both in the vest and in the legs where to store flotation elements that regulate the buoyancy of the swimming apprentice as long as That he is learning.
  • These flotation elements consist of pieces of material of very low density and consequently of great buoyancy, such as expanded polystyrene, which in addition to floating well is impervious to water.
  • the child's weight and thoracic capacity as static factors and secondly the swimming skills that he acquires in his learning as dynamic, evolutionary factors.
  • Another factor that affects buoyancy is the thickness of the neoprene. This is basically a porous rubber in which each microscopic pore is a sealed air bubble.
  • the float swimsuit must be a carrier of greater or lesser number of buoyancy regulating elements in the different cases in which they are housed, as will be described below.
  • flotation regulators must be distributed to act in areas of the body where positive buoyancy must be maintained, that is, ascending, and in those where the buoyancy must be neutral, that is, neither ascending or positive nor descending or negative.
  • a child with greater muscle mass, for example, will need to improve its buoyancy by adding elements of flotation in volume to the chest.
  • this float swimsuit allows the swimmer's arms to move without difficulty to advance the body without the head being semi submerged and therefore exposed to water entering through the nose or water preventing the swimmer's visibility.
  • the present invention is oriented towards the solution of these three problems: giving security to the apprentice by stabilizing the balance of his body, preventing water from impeding his visibility and having no problems with breathing. It is the object of the present invention to provide a comfortable and simple means of swimming in harmony and without any risk while facilitating the task by removing the difficulties and obstacles faced by children / adults who with or without difficulties learn to swim.
  • the float is fitted to the user's body as a one-piece swimsuit, without a harness, but fastened by sailboat or by buttoning, although the main advantage lies in the proportional distribution of the flotation elements adapted to the weight and thoracic capacity of the subject and the progressive regulation of its buoyancy.
  • the float swimsuit to learn to swim also serves to give parents more peace of mind when children know how to swim and improve safety in water sports and free swimming in swamps, muddy waters or waters where there is a risk of losing safety.
  • document ES 220314 U refers to an aquatic float made of material of very low specific weight and impervious to water, which is given a shape that offers maximum buoyancy, presenting at the top a flange on the periphery for User support and a concavity at the bottom to confer greater stability. It has the drawback compared to the proposed invention of providing only buoyancy and stability to the user, but nothing more. On the other hand, in the proposed invention the user finds the opportunity to keep the head high enough to be free from discomfort, as well as being able to move the arms without difficulty, in addition to maintaining its buoyancy in line with its body constitution and level of swimming learning
  • the document ES 1045906 U affects the user's safety, as it consists of a collar fastened around the neck so that it cannot be exited and also has the advantage of keep the swimmer's head always out of the water.
  • ES 2 083 222 T3 describes an inflatable float element for learning to swim, comprising at least two inflatable float bodies and a strap for attachment to the user's body, characterized in that the two float bodies are joined facing each other and opposite each other, while that the fastening belt passes in an intermediate position between the two floating bodies, cooperates with positioning loops located at the ends of these and is held between the two floating bodies when at least one of the two has swollen.
  • This is intended to give mobility to the arms and legs of the apprentice as well as buoyancy, but at the cost of a complex and cumbersome system that is far from the simplicity and effectiveness of the one proposed in this invention.
  • ES 2020092 refers to a bathroom float especially suitable for children or people who do not know how to swim. It consists of two twin flotation bodies joined by two flexible braces, with the ability to extend in length. The weight of the body when resting on the flexible braces forces the floats to stick on their flanks, although it is not clear that prevents free movement of the arms.
  • Document ES 2 173 331 T3 presents a swimming aid comprising an inflatable cushion of foldable material and a bag suitable to accommodate the folded cushion without swelling, said bag provided with a belt to fix it to the swimmer's body, and including a cartridge of pressurized gas which, when operated by a valve, fills the cushion. It presents as inconveniences in the face of the present invention that it does not keep the head out of the water, in addition to the risk of gas and valve engorgement.
  • the ES1077377U describes a floating swimsuit comprising a main body provided with an upper opening for the introduction of the user's head, lateral openings for the arms, and a pair of legs for the insertion of the legs, characterized in that it comprises additionally: - pockets linked to the main body, and which are dimensionally adapted to house inside at least one element of floating material, of lower density than water, so that they provide buoyancy to the swimsuit, and therefore to the user.
  • it does not solve the problem of distributing buoyancy elements proportionally through the body and legs of the swimsuit, adapting said distribution to the child's weight and thoracic capacity, nor does it foresee the inclusion of flotation elements in the inner part of the vest .
  • it provide for the possibility of including air-filled buoyancy elements in a different embodiment.
  • the float swimsuit for learning to swim object of the present invention is constituted from a set of sleeveless vest and neoprene swimsuit with covers distributed both in the vest and in the legs where to store buoyancy regulating elements of the apprentice subject swimming, both statically depending on the weight and thoracic capacity of the latter, and dynamically as he learns.
  • Said flotation elements consist of pieces of material of low density and consequently high buoyancy, such as expanded polystyrene, which in addition to floating well is impervious to water and is housed in proportionally distributed covers both in the front of the vest and the legs as in the back of these, consisting of a cover on the upper part of the back of the vest, two on the chest, two on the waist, two on the lower back four on the legs.
  • the thickness of the neoprene is also proportional to the size of the swimsuit, being thicker in the larger sizes that need to strengthen the buoyancy of the subject.
  • the number of the buoyancy regulating elements of the subject inserted in the covers also adapts to these buoyancy factors and the evolution of the subject's learning, being able to be inserted between one or more in the covers located in the outer pectoral areas of the vest and the minus one in the same interior areas.
