Abstract:
1. A swimming apparatus for use with a swimmer's hands, elbows, arms and/or feet, comprising: a tail fin system including a pair of shoes attached to a tail fin member by at least one keel member positioned between the tail member and the pair of shoes such that the pair of shoes do not directly contact the tail fin member; a hand-held fin system selectively operable to be held with the swimmer's hands; a dual snorkel system including a tube system including an inhale channel and an exhale channel, at least one valve member and a mouthpiece member; wherein a length of the tail fin member is larger than a width of the tail fin member; wherein the tail fin member is selectively operable to pivot about the keel member towards the pair of shoes; wherein the pair of shoes are held in fixed relationship to each other; wherein the hand-held fin system includes a hand-held fin member selectively operable to include at least one fixed or moveable angular portion thereof; wherein the inhale and exhale channels of the dual snorkel system are independently operable along a length of the tube member such that the valve member is selectively operable to permit any air inhaled by the swimmer to only travel through the inhale channel and any air exhaled by the swimmer to only travel through the exhale channel.
