i'm one of the only guys on my team that foen't wear a drag suit. do drag suits make that big a difference?
if so is there a drag suit that has VERY LITTLE DRAG that i can wear to get use to at first? (eventually i'd buy one with more drag)
Some of the resistance training I've done in the past (late 80's, early 90's) include:
Panty hose (Drag)
Tights (Drag)
Umbro Soccer Shorts (Drag suit)
Pocket Suits (Drag Suit)
Little innertubes on ankles (Pulling sets)
Straps on ankles (Pulling sets)
T-shirts (swimming/kicking)
Running shoes (kicking sets)
Weights/Bricks (vertical kicking)
Stretch cords (swimming in place & 25's)
Milk Buckets with weight on pulleys you pull to the ceiling while swimming
Zounds! So you should perhaps be very knowledgeable, at least for yourself. Did using all this drag make you a stronger swimmer? And now that you don't use all this drag, are you significantly slower, allowing ever-so-slightly for the passing of time?
