I view them as a device (and my personal fave for this work) for in-water strength training. I don&#39;t like it for fly bc it throws off my timing; the UR coach opens the hole more (less resistance) for parachute fly for this reason. When I use it with freestyle I often combine with paddles.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/171704?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 02 Jan 2012 07:00:08 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:36e96fe6-a41e-4c89-a3ca-57ca3d604e19swimsharkI love the chute! We used to do something like 10x100 on 2:00 mixing free and stroke and then take it off to do some super fast 50s. Enjoy!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
