I assumed Raymond was asking about the Swim Chutes that are small parachutes attached to the swimmer; a similar concept to a drag suit, only with a LOT more resistance.
I’ve used them a couple of times in workouts, however I’m not a big fan, because they tend to slow my tempo and besides I’m swimming slow enough with my own personal resistance. I much prefer surgical tubing for resistance swim training; I’m able to keep my tempo up and I get a free ride on the return 25.
One place where a swim chute may come in handy is for those fast folks who get stuck in slow circle lanes (as addressed in many other threads). The extra 20-30 seconds per hundred may be enough to keep you from lapping the dry hairs as often.
I know that George will believe he means the getting out after the swim and running the chute to get on the bike. But how do you make this into a workout??????? Sprint a 100, jump out of the pool then run around the pool deck. Repeat. Some workout? I wish he would get back and let us know.
