Has anyone heard of this technique or used it in swim practices?
It seems to do nothing for me other than takes 2 min to do a 50 !!
I would rather use small fins or just use my own 2 feet !
My club team has been toyin around with this type of stuff for a couple years now. It's pretty brutal on the legs and yes, very slow. Not only will they do normal kick sets, but also lengthy kicking while just holding onto the wall. I'm not sure why, but they haven't seem to have done it when I've been around for at least the last year.
You can do it with any pair of sneakers, but these are the ones I use: www.aqxsports.com/index.php
My overall impression is that it can be a positive addition to your training.
