AquaVee, LLC announces the launch of its portable swim system, an innovative fitness solution that enables swimmers to swim in place, getting a continuous barrier-free workout without having to kick off pool walls, in virtually any pool. The AquaVee portable swim system weighs less than two pounds and can be set up in just minutes, offering swimmers of all levels the ability to swim in place using any stroke, in virtually any depth of water. Using the AquaVee portable swim system, users can get a full cardio-vascular and resistance workout in as little as 15 minutes.
The patent-pending AquaVee portable swim system consists of an inflatable belt that swimmers fasten around their waists, latex tubing that attaches to the belt to hold the swimmer in place, and a 12-inch bungee cord with suction cups that secure the latex tubing to the borders of the pool wall. Using the included clear adhesive sheaths, the suction cups can adhere to any border surface, even those made of porous materials, like marble. The suction cups and latex tubing are strong enough to anchor the swimmer in place, and a swivel clip on the belt ensures that the swimmer won’t get tangled in the latex lines.

Fitness and medical experts rank swimming as one of the most beneficial forms of exercise. Unlike most other aerobic and resistance exercises, swimming is stress-free on the joints. In an article published by WebMD.com, Robert A. Robergs, exercise physiologist and director of the exercise physiology laboratories at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, states that swimming is a good fitness choice for just about everyone, especially those with physical limitations or who find other forms of exercise painful. “It’
By using the AquaVee portable swim system, swimmers can get the cardiovascular and resistance benefits of swimming in less time. Because swimmers don’t advance through the water, there is no momentum created, which means that there is more resistance in the water. Each stroke is like the swimmer’s first--it’s like breaking the water for the first time. And because the swimmer won’t need to kick off at the end of the pool, which adds more momentum, the swim workout is more concentrated. The result is a stronger, more resistant workout. The swimmer doesn’t need to swim as long as with traditional swimming methods to get the same--or better--work out.
“I initially came up with the idea while trying to rehabilitate my knee,” explains Alberto Roque, co-inventor and co-founder of AquaVee. “In my effort to find a solution to my injury, I found that there was nothing out there that would allow someone to swim freely and comfortably, so I set out to create a solution of my own. Our co-inventor Felipe Pazos was instrumental in developing the concept into a viable product and so far the response has been overwhelmingly positive. From triathletes to stay-at-home moms, people are looking for an easy, cost-effective way to get actual fitness utility out of their pools. AquaVee definitely offers that solution.”
The AquaVee portable swim system is available in three sizes that will fit most adults, and will be available new petite and child’s sizes by next quarter. AquaVee will also be releasing a higher-resistance version for elite swimmers and athletes, and has plans for another water fitness related product to be released later this year. The AquaVee portable swim system is available online at www.AquaVeeOnline.com for less than $90 and takes only minutes to set up.
“This is a great alternative to the $5,000 to $10,000 endless pool systems that use water pressure to create resistance,”
The AquaVee portable swim system comes with its own mesh carrying bag and offers a 30-day money back guarantee.
