I understand that swimmers at U of Texas use a homemade wheeled device for core training. Does anyone here know about its use? design? could you share that information with me. Apparently, they use these devices while pulling themselves up the ramps into the football stadium.
I would like to train using one of these. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, I don't know about that particular piece of equiptment, but I do a lot of core stability training for dry land because of my back issues.
Some good excercises are...
1. With an excercise ball, roll out attempting to keep your back as straight as a platform, and roll back in. -Walking on your hands-
2. Try and hold a superman position lying on the ball, with your hands in streamline position. Your feet should touch the gorund.
3. In the water, put a kickboard on your stomach and spread your arms and legs into an X position, once you are stable and not wobbling, close your legs to form a Y, once you stabilize yourself again close your arms to form an I. When you are completely stablized, add another kickboard.
Core stability is extremely important because it creates less drag and resistance in the water.
