Fabulous sprint sets

I've never used strech cords, can you explain this to me please? Thanks! Heather, here is a picture: www.swim2000.com/product.php It's sometimes called resistance swimming and there are different cords out there for different types of resistance (low to high resistance). The cord is anchored usually to the block and the other end may be anchored to a belt on your waist. Attachment methods may vary. And there are other types of resistance swimming as well - you may be restrained by a bucket or parachute on a rope. And even swimming with tennis shoes is a form of resistance swimming. The goal may be to make it to the end of the pool while maintaining a sprint speed and fighting the resistance of the cord. Reach the wall (rest for a moment - or not!) and sprint back super fast (this time with the cord assisting you along). I feel it really helps my power and speed in the 50s and helped me to swim a 27.2 in the 50 fly. I mix it up with free, *** and fly strokes. This is all assuming you have healthy shoulders. I would avoid this if you don't.
