I saw a swim team swimming with these resistance devices the other day, kind of like parachutes. I figure they are probably good to help with strength, but it seems that they might also force you to improve technique to move at a reasonable pace. Anyone have experience with these things?
You know I haven't asked him. I've seen him use the bungee cord with a couple swimmers, so I would imagine he believes there is a place for that type of resistance training. In addition to the strength training of the chutes, I'm intrigued by the idea of being more aware of technique because it would be easier to recognize differences in speeds (I think).
He was the one who made us use the buckets (my head still hurts from them). I'm sure he would be open to the parachute as well.
