Claim:
An aquatic treadmill to be submersed in a swimming pool ( 2 ) containing a body of water ( 3 ) in a predetermined level, characterized in that it comprises: a base ( 10 ) affixed to the edge ( 1 ) of the swimming pool ( 2 ), externally to the area occupied by the body of water ( 3 ); an structural arm ( 20 ) having a mounting end articulated to the base ( 10 ), in order to be selectively and angularly displaced between an inoperative position, elevated and external to the area occupied by the body of water ( 3 ), and an operative position, in which it is downwardly projected, so as to have a free end penetrating into the body of water ( 3 ); an arm actuator ( 12 ), which is simultaneously articulated to the base ( 10 ) and to the structural arm ( 20 ), in order to produce the angular displacement of the latter between its operative and inoperative positions; an elongated chassis ( 30 ), having an end articulated to a free end of the structural arm ( 20 ), in order to be selectively angularly displaced between an inoperative position, seated against the structural arm ( 20 ), and a substantially horizontal operative position; a chassis actuator ( 50 ), which is simultaneously articulated to the structural arm ( 20 ) and to the chassis ( 30 ), in order to produce the angular displacement of the latter between its operative and inoperative positions; a support frame ( 40 ) mounted to the chassis ( 30 ) and carrying a pair of end transversal rollers ( 47 ), around which an endless belt ( 41 ) is mounted.
