With
the beginner, the body is lower in the water causing SwimFin
to be more submerged,(imagine pushing a beach ball under the water)
thus giving the swimmer more uplift and support, without the arms
being restricted. For the really confident beginners SwimFin
could replace the armbands forever!
As
confidence grows, there’s a more improved body position (this is a
clever bit), SwimFin appears more out of the water, now
giving a little less support. Generally at this stage the armbands
or other devices would be reduced, SwimFin does it
automatically, working with the swimmers natural ability but also
giving the immediate support if required to, they trust SwimFin.
In
a horizontal position, SwimFin is virtually out of the water
giving very little or no support so even the better swimmers can
wear it all the time, just remember, if its out of the water its no
longer a buoyancy aid but the kids are having fun and because it’s
streamlined, will not impede movement through the water .
SwimFin
is great for swimming on the back, it replaces the use for
teacher/parent support by giving maximum uplift. (Beach ball) It
encourages a better streamlined leg kick which helps to establish
balance. If required the swimmer only needs to roll to the side and
SwimFin will turn the child onto its front and help establish
and maintain a safe or secure standing position.
SwimFin is multi stroke functional, take a look at the
video for a quick explanation for
Breast stroke and Fly.
