Swim in Place in Any Pool!
For use in any pool, from a small private backyard above-ground to a large public in-ground aquatic facility, The Swimhorse support frame enables elderly, disabled, physically challenged (as well as physically fit), the ability to swim in place horizontally without the fear of sinking below water level. Many folks cannot sustain a fast enough swim stroke to remain buoyant and many pools, like those backyard above-ground, are not long enough for laps.
No jets required! Many patients cannot coordinate their movements against the force and power of jetted swim spas or pools. This support frame takes a passive approach allowing the user to dictate the intensity and duration of exercise.
Full range motion, even in slow motion, means muscles, ligaments, tendons can gradually and carefully be exercised and stretched improving mobility and circulation while reducing atrophy.
One notable benefit of this device is that it reduces the size requirements of a pool in water volume and square footage (less to heat and filter in small back yards) while still allowing for full range swimming motions.

The version above has an internal brace for rigidity, and is the better option for instructors or parents who don't want to step on an external brace while walking around a patient or child. The version below has an external brace which may be the better option for small above ground backyard vinyl floor pools as the nose of the brace against a side wall reduces sliding movement.
The above picture on dry ground is for illustration and proportion only.
Typical in-pool use would have the water level just below
the chin, for breathing, and just above the chest for immersion.
The below picture shows the product boxed and ready to ship;
40" long x 13" wide x 7" high at 35 lbs.

"Languid laps"; backstroke and freestyle swimming postures in full range motion are possible while moving in a leisurely and relaxed manner, or even in slow motion as with water tai chi seen in the video above.
Similar to the function of a sawhorse supporting lumber or steel, this DME apparatus holds a swimmer horizontally. Sitting on the floor of a pool, or middle perimeter rim as with The Vertical Pool, the frame provides a base that is stable (it is a horse after all). The upper pad levels can be adjusted in height and length-separation to accommodate swimmers of different statures in water depths from 30" to 42" (the shallow end of most pools). An adjustable headrest allows support for ease of backstroke, water yoga stretches, or just laying still to float and relax. The pommel (as with a regular horse saddle) sits between the legs, pivots up and down to facilitate mount and dismount, and helps secure positions while preventing lateral slippage, or rolling off, so .............. swimmers .... mount up!
Originally innovated specifically for The Vertical Pool in a shorter frame, the taller version of this product will work in any pool or body of water with a standard concrete floor, above-ground vinyl floor, or even sandy bottom.
Dimensions of the internal brace model shown in the top picture; length 37 1/2” X width 33 1/2” X adjustable height 30” to 42”. PVC frame construction with stainless steel quick release pins, stainless steel ballast, and foam cushions.
A prescription for this device from your doctor may help obtain financial assistance from your insurance provider.

Have you ever expended a tremendous amount of energy and gotten absolutely nowhere?
Well, here's another way to do it!
The shorter version above is design-specific to The Vertical Pool.
The taller version above can be used in almost every pool.
