 WEEKLY SWIM TIP#10:

Kicking for Long Course

FINIS spends a lot of time working on new and inventive ways to swim smarter. However, there comes a time in every athlete’s season where they need to hop behind a kickboard and dig in. The ability to kick hard while you are tired is something that is improved upon only by repetition. Although it is never easy to build up your leg drive, it is essential to finishing a long course race as you should. Using a FINIS Foam Kickboard and a pair of Zoomers Gold training fins will help you perform at your best come taper time.

Try using these products in the following long course set!

5 Rounds (last 2 with Zoomers Gold)
2 x 100 Kick w/ Kickboard, moderate rest interval
4 x 50 Kick w/ Kickboard, FAST (for time); on 1:00

For another variation, try using our Alignment Kickboard paired with a Swimmer's Snorkel to keep your body in its natural line.

Compression fit creates hydrodynamic form, maximising the efficiency of every stroke, while key Speedo technology features and a dramatic design marks the user out as a serious contender

FASTSKIN3 Cap: The world's first cap featuring the IQ Fit Profile, and designed using accurate head mapping data; creating optimum comfort, outstanding hydrodynamic performance, improved fit and ease of use. Reduces drag by 5.7% if used in conjunction with Fastskin3 Goggles.

FASTSKIN3 Goggles: Optimum comfort, wider peripheral vision, greater security during dives and turns. Our fastest, most comfortable racing goggle ever.
