Major Design Project


The AquaSpin is a resistance training device used in a swimming pool. It is designed to help the elderly, especially with those with joint problems, in building leg and arm muscles. This is important for maintaining balance, muscle tone and movement in later life. AquaSpin, in contrast to existing aqua dumbbells, allows the level of resistance to be easily changed.

When the AquaSpin is pushed through the water, the fan rotates. This rotation provides resistance to movement. A rubber stopper is used to place pressure on the fan - controlling the resistance of the product’s movement through the water.

The user can change the resistance level with a clickable dial which acts as an encouragement to progress in strength. The bright colours and shapes are influenced by marine life, aiming to improve the users’ mood.

AquaSpin makes exercise an enjoyable experience for the elderly, helping them to improve muscle strength.
