Monsieur Gamont of France invented a practical apparatus for people unable to swim. A handle operated by the bather's right arm actuated a rearward-acting propelling device which was constructed so as to collapse when pulled forward, and to spread open when pushed back, resulting in a forward movement. Inflated India rubber bags afforded the necessary buoyancy to the swimmer.
