Hand held, multi-directional device for aquatic exercising

Claim 1

An aquatic exercising device comprising: a hollow handle member having a first end and a second end; said handle member being substantially round and includes a textured surface, said substantially round handle member enables an individual to grip the handle at any point therearound while said textured surface permits an individual to securely grasp the handle member; a first substantially funnel shaped support operatively connected to said first end of said handle; a second substantially funnel shaped support operatively connected to said second end of said handle; said first and second substantially funnel shaped supports being hollow and said hollow space being in communication with said hollow space in said handle member to permit water to flow therebetween; a first plurality of vanes operatively affixed to said first substantially funnel shaped support and extending within said hollow space of said first substantially funnel-shaped support; and a second plurality of vanes operatively affixed to said second substantially funnel shaped support and extending within said hollow space of said second substantially funnel shaped support; whereby movement of said aquatic exercising device through a body of water produces a resistance to enhance the exercising capability of an individual utilizing the aquatic exercising device; said plurality of first and second vanes includes a first resistance member which is smaller in size relative to the vane forming a second resistance member to provide substantially different resistance as each of the vanes are moved through a body of water and said second resistance member projects outwardly from said funnel shaped supports beyond the diameter of the largest opening of said funnel shaped supports for improving the stability of the aquatic exercising device as it moves through a body of water.
