Abstract

A training aid comprising a control mechanism 1 and a flexible waterproof strip 3 containing light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged as a linear array. The strip may have a translucent silicon sheath to prevent water entering and is preferably placed along the bottom of a pool in line with a swim lane. The controller is programmable and may download instructions from a computer, and the controller or the computer may run software to create a swim profile from parameters supplied by the user. The controller then causes the LED lights in the strip 3 to illuminate in such a way to indicate to the swimmer the desired position according to the swim profile. The controller may also alter the colour, intensity or blink frequency of the lights. The light strip may be weighted or attached to the bottom or side of the pool with suckers or vacuum cups.
