Does anyone else out there use a drag suit or a drag belt for workouts? I wear an old, stretched out suit that I wear over another stretched out suit for workouts. They create a lot of drag! I wear them for most of my workouts.
I also use a drag belt. It is a mesh suit that looks like a men's suit, except it has 4 pockets that are held open with plastic to create a parachute effect. I have two. One is older and is made by TYR. The other is new and made by FINA. I only do a few sets with these since they make for a very hard swim.
I find that these two forms of drag give me a good hard workout! Does anyone else do this?
That's exactly why I use the drag, for the feel of the swim without it.
The belt gives a great, hard workout. I have to work hard on the turns and push offs!
I never hear any of the olympic swimmers talk about the belt or drag suits.
