  • I am sure everyone at onetime or another has used bands around their ankles. I for one used them a lot in the past. It will surely develop the armstroke it did this for me. I never had trouble with my legs staying near the surface but now everyone likes to use swim bouys so the feet will stay up. It is a true arms only thing and I prefer the bands over swim bouys. I have not used any devices of any type for years. For arms only I just hold the feet together but I seldom do that anymore. I use full stroke. George, could you be a little more specific when you say it develops armstroke? I know it doesn't in the way that paddles do. I was told it helps keep your chest down deeper.....do you buy that?
