Abstract
There are a lot of people who are reluctant to do swimming because they cannot swim well. Therefore, in this study, we propose the bathing suit that assists the body to attach the buoyant material into swimsuit for those people. First, the experiment that takes a picture of the swimming movement is conducted. Next, swimming movement of this experiment is analyzed by the simulation theoretically and examined the effect of the swimming ability, buoyant material installation position and the amount. Then, we make a bathing suit which can change the installation position and the amount of the buoyant material, and detailed examination was done by the simulation and the senses evaluation. Finally, we calculated the calorie consumption of swimming and examined the influence that the buoyant material exerted on the calorie consumption.
