Abstract

An aquatic exercise device for use in a swimming pool or the like comprising a substantially rectangular, flat rigid fluid resistance member having an adjustable substantially U-shaped hand gripping member disposed in fixed spaced relation relative to the surface of the substantially rectangular flat rigid fluid resistance member by a pair of substantially parallel interconnecting members and a wrist guide including a flat rigid stability member extending in a coplanar relation relative to the substantially rectangular flat rigid fluid resistance member to engage the user's wrist and a substantially J-shaped axial alignment member extending from one longitudinal edge of flat rigid stability member to receive the user's wrist such that the user grasps the adjustable substantially U-shaped hand gripping member while placing his wrist within the substantially J-shaped axial alignment member whereby the user moves the aquatic exercise device through the water to create a significant resistance on the substantially rectangular flat rigid fluid resistance member to exercise the user.
