WIPO Patent Application WO2002038226
Kind Code:

Abstract:
An aquatic propulsion device (32) includes an elongate member(40) secured to a forearm support (42) and a paddle (34). The paddle(34) and elongate member (40) include a grip (36) positioned such that a person may place their forearm in the forearm support (42) and reach and hold onto the grip (36). While wearing the aquatic propulsion device, the person may perform power and/or return strokes using their forearm and hand, such that the forearm support, the elongate member, and the paddle move in tandem with the forearm and hand. The aquatic propulsion (32) device is characterized by a center of water (64) displacement that extends beyond the hand, away from the forearm. Additionally, a leading edge of the paddle is substantially inline with the hand and forearm.
