CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is based on Mexican Application Serial No. PA/a/2005/006673, Jun. 17, 2005 which is hereby incorporated by reference and to which priority is STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention is related to anchor systems for workout and/or rehabilitation inside bodies of water, more specifically to an anchor system used for the practice of stationary swimming in a swimming pool. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0004] In recent years there has been a notorious increase in the number of stationary exercise appliances. These appliances are commonly used at home or at established gymnasiums. The appliances are used in order to exercise certain muscles or muscle groups, such as abdominals, pectorals, legs, etc. There are also appliances that simulate the activity of a full sport, such as skiing, escalating (escalators), rowing (rowers), cycling (stationary bikes), walking (walking machines), and the like. [0005] Swimming is one of the best cardio-respiratory exercises. Notwithstanding, it is difficult to practice this sport because a relatively large swimming pools are required to obtain the physical benefits of the sport. Thus, it would be advantageous to have a device that permits the swimmer to obtain the benefits of swimming in a confined swimming location. [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,634,993 granted to Morr on Oct. 21, 2003, describes an appliance used to hold a swimmer "in place" during an aquatic workout. The appliance is made of a flexible tethering string or cord attached to the pool wall, a flotation device, and a pair of fixed lines secured to the soles of the swimmer's shoes. [0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,823 granted to Awbrey et al. on Feb. 13, 1996, describes a system for exercise and therapy inside water. The system includes a hook anchored to the pool side deck to which a tether cord is attached via a swivel pulley assembly. The tether cord is attached to the swimmer's shoe. [0008] European Patent No. 0,226,524 granted to Sanchez Velasco, on Oct. 24, 1990, describes any anchorage system which uses threaded bolts. [0009] Despite the foregoing, there remains a need to develop a removable anchorage device that can be used during an aquatic workout. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The present invention is directed to an anchorage device to be used in an aquatic environment capable of being installed in the place were the workout and/or the rehabilitation is to take place inside water. [0011] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide an anchorage system that is easier and more efficient to mold and produce in an industrial scale, as well as significantly cheaper and convenient to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] FIG. 1 is an elevated lateral exploded view of the anchorage system in accordance with the present invention. [0013] FIG. 2 is a partial elevated lateral exploded view of the anchorage system in accordance with the present invention. [0014] FIG. 3 is a partial elevated lateral view, showing the piston and cylinder assembly separated from the stationary base in the anchorage system of the present invention. [0015] FIG. 4 is a partial elevated lateral view of the stationary base of the anchorage system of the present invention. [0016] FIG. 5 is a partial elevated lateral view of the interphase cylinder of the anchorage system of the present invention. [0017] FIG. 6 is a partial elevated lateral view of the piston of the anchorage system of the present invention. [0018] FIG. 7 is a length-wide, elevational view showing a person using the anchorage system of the present invention in a swimming pool.
