Rethinking Resistance as the Core of a Training Program

Resistance has never been available in this form, and it provides swimmers the ability to gain power, strength, and speed to see greater results than using traditional outdated resistance training devices. We want to change the way coaches and swimmers see resistance training to take it from being an extension of a program to becoming the core foundation of a program. Any type of resistance that pulls an athlete back, up, or down will alter their stroke. With the X1 series, swimmers can feel true resistance teaching them to grab and hold the water and pull in the correct direction, allowing for quicker engagement.
