Queens University Swimmers Are Loving The X1-Advanced

Jeff Dugdale, head coach at Queens University has been training on the X1 system for a couple years now, and his swimmers are seeing a noticeable improvement in both power and form. Jeff has been using the X1-Advanced for breakouts, tapering, and breaststroke drills. With breaststroke, Jeff has been hooking up the line above the swimmers and shortening the leash to help his swimmers get their hips up while training. He now has 7 200 breaststrokers under 2 minutes which he credits a large part to training on the X1 system.

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and it provides swimmers the ability to gain power, strength, and speed to see greater results than using traditional outdated resistance training devices.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.
