3 Finis accessories to improve the swimming technique

The key to improvement in swimming Without a doubt, it is the technique. From news triathlon we tell you the possibilities offered by the innovative training accessories Finis for work and improve different technical aspects that will help us to strengthen a style of more efficient swim.

HYDRO HIP

In this belt that incorporates two blades on the hips. During the swim we will receive a instantaneous feedback of the rotation movement on the longitudinal axis (roll), since the Leaves exert pressure on the water and activate our core to maintain the position.

In addition to allowing us the strength training of the core, it helps us coordinate the roll movement with the stroke, so that when this is not correct the arm hits the leaves of the hip in the final part of the stroke.

Strengths:

• Body position work
• Allows you to be aware of the rotational work of the trunk
• Work of the core musculature
• Rolling work and coordination
• Adjustable to the hip or waist
• It can also be used in the back style

Points to consider:

• The belt can "dance" on your hip if it is not properly adjusted
• The work must be progressive in time and intensity so as not to overload the lower back

FOREARM FULCRUMS PADDLES

It is an "eight" or "infinite" that connects forearm and hand forming a joint lever for the improved grip and push in the stroke, keeping the elbow in a higher position. With this material you will feel a simultaneous thrust from the hand to the elbow, given that does not allow to let "flow" the hand by the push of the water when it is inside eight.

In addition, the position of the hand at the entrance of the arm also remains oriented down and back so that we avoid the injurious internal rotation movement of the shoulder that occurs when the palm enters outward.

Strengths:

• Technical work of the entrance phase, grip and push
• Correction of the position of the hand at the entrance to the water
• Feedback in relation to the pushing force
• Improvement of the elevated position of the elbow
• Different sizes (senior and junior)
• It can be used in all styles

Points to consider:

• At first the pressure on the hand or forearm may be uncomfortable
• Be careful when touching the wall so as not to press your fingers

We have also had the opportunity to try two more training materials that without a doubt we recommend you for the technical work:

AGILITY PADDLESAGILITY PADDLES

Swimming shovels that only go fastened with the thumb. This fact means that when the underwater phase is not performed correctly, the shovel is separated from the hand and there is no thrust. Further, the position of the hand will be much more similar to that of normal swimming in comparison with the blades that have rubber bands.

AXIS BUOY

In this pull buoy with double function. The first is the traditional, place it between the legs. The second, and most innovative, is the grip on the ankles, so that, at the same time increases the buoyancy of the lower train, increase the work at the hip level (core and rolido) to keep the feet "tied". Therefore, it is a great complement to work the correct alignment of the body in the water and become aware of the active core work that we must do to achieve the correct hydrodynamic position.
