Does anyone have experience with stretchcordz short belt (or long belt) when lap swimming is impossible? I swim at the local Y which has a sorry lap swim schedule, including no lap swimming on Saturdays, can you believe it? I have considered using stretchcordz for continuous swimming in place during rec swim, at which time they have a rope across the width of the pool. Would appreciate suggestions.

I've done some vertical kicking on my own..... not sure what came over me. I even tried it with fly kick.
Boy was THAT fun.:rolleyes:
I still prefer over vertical kicking to do 8 x 25 hands behind the back, head out of the water kick. We did this in waterpolo practice to swim head up front crawl and I do this now with a 15 sec rest.

I actually liked doing stretch cordz on land. My freestyle was much better when they were part of my workout!
We used to do vertical kicking with shoes on and weights (really). Coach Mitch Ivey's school of torture! (Actually, that too was very beneficial- I developed a strong breaststroke kick!)
