Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swimming pool having a cover, whereby the air located inside the cover can be conditioned.
  • a closed swimming pool is provided with heating convectors and with an air dehumidifier.
  • the air humidity is set by means of a hygrometer such that the atmosphere feels pleasant for the person in the swimming pool. This means that at lower temperatures the sensation of cold is not increased by the higher humidity, or that an increased perception of mugginess does not occur at high temperatures.
  • this object is achieved in that an air space inside the cover is connected to an air generator which can be used to set or change the air composition.
  • the cover can be tightly connected to the swimming pool edge.
  • the swimming pool provided with the cover, can be formed as a counter-current swimming channel, by which in addition to the air composition, the swimming intensity can also be easily adjusted to the specific athlete in training.
  • the air space can also be connected to a low-pressure generator, by which, in addition to the air composition, the air pressure can be adjusted to the desired altitude training conditions.
  • the swimming pool can be constructed on a trailer, approved for road traffic, together with the associated auxiliary equipment, by means of which it can be transported to the specifically required places for training or demonstration purposes, whereby the swimming pool on the trailer can be ready for use immediately after it is filled with water.
  • FIG. 1 shows the swimming pool in a longitudinal/vertical section
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the swimming pool with the cover removed.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-vertical section taken along line III-III in FIG. 1 .
  • a swimming pool is designated by 1 , which is provided with a cover 2 .
  • 3 is an air generator, which is connected via a supply line 4 and a removal line 5 to air space 6 of cover 2 .
  • the swimming space is designated by 7 in which the water is circulated via a circulation channel 8 by a turbine 9 and thus serves as a counter-current swimming facility for the swimmer.
  • the seal between swimming pool 1 and cover 2 is designated by 10 .
  • air space 6 can be connected in addition to a low-pressure generator as well, to change the air pressure predominating in air space 6 .
  • the air composition in air generator 3 can be set and controlled so that the nitrogen to oxygen ratio therein corresponds to the ratio prevailing at an altitude of 2500-3000 m. This corresponds to training facilities at a higher altitude, which are typically used by swimmers as well as other competitive athletes for training to improve performance.
  • the air pressure can also be reduced somewhat, namely to the value corresponding to the air composition. Suitable training conditions can be created overall thereby without expensive and time-consuming traveling being necessary for the athlete.
  • the counter-current turbine naturally can be controlled in a conventional manner and can be tailored to the physical conditions of the swimmer.
  • the air generator, the circulation turbine, and optionally also a low-pressure generator can be controlled by means of a central computer, in which the personal data of the specific swimmer are stored, so that a training workload stored for the swimmer can be run through automatically.
