Additional Uses/Tips/Support:
Use for Pull Sets
- Restrict kicking for pull sets to be sure they focus on their pull and body balance
- Can place an ankle in each cuff, or both feet in 1 cuff
- Constantly mix up your pull sets to challenge the body balance, core muscles, and upper body strength
Feedback (Swimmers FEEL / Coaches SEE / Video for Self-Analysis):
- As your feet sink, press down on your chest to help drive up your legs
- Be sure to do pull sets without a pull buoy to help improve your core and power
- Feel any ‘fishtail’ of your legs and use your core to stabilize your side-to-side balance

Use for Breast stroke knee control
- Place 1 knee in each cuff (above or below knee) and swim breast stroke
- Replaces breast kicking with buoy between thighs while allow the hips to thrust forward slightly
Feedback (Swimmers FEEL / Coaches SEE / Video for Self-Analysis):
- Focus on catching water with the outside edge of the feet as high as possible for max power
- Focus on whipping the feet together as you finish
- Be sure to press the feet UP closer to the surface as you finish the whip (to minimize resistance on glide)
