[57] A device for in-place swimming in a swimming pool. A swimmer is tethered to the side of a pool in a manner which permits unrestrained swimming by an elongated, smooth, slightly elastic, strap having an eye formed on one end by bending the end back on itself and sealing the end in place and forming a running slip knot by pulling the strap material through the eye to form a lasso type loop for restraining the lower body of the swimmer. 4 claims, 4 Drawing Sheets |
