Abstract
An exercise apparatus enables users to very closely approximate the workout and training experience of actual swimming by the use of two functional features. An open hip adjustable bench design supports the users body in a manner that is similar to the dynamic buoyancy of water. A leg exercise portion of the apparatus gives an unrestricted leg movement with force resistance vectors equivalent to those provided by water. The apparatus is also convenient to use and can be stored away for use at the home as well as a gym.
