The Fulcrum Paddle is a shoulder safe paddle that increases strength and speed. The flat surface area and basic design makes it good for every stroke type. The wide shape of the paddle takes away some of the stress felt on the forearms during a workout and distributes it more evenly throughout the arms and shoulders, helping the swimmer build endurance and muscle. The Fulcrum Paddle comes in five different sizes; pick the correct paddle according to the swimmer's weight range. Swimming with the Fulcrum Paddle will help you get a stronger upper body workout every time you swim.
Breathe easily while you swim by using the Swimmer's Snorkel. This unique device allows swimmers to breathe without rotating their head. The Swimmer's Snorkel can be worn in front of the face, instead of the side like most snorkels, and with swim goggles. A sturdy bracket is included to secure the snorkel tube in place. Swimmers can then feel more relaxed in the water because they have removed the need to turn the head to breathe. When using the Swimmer's Snorkel, a laid out, horizontal position is easier to achieve and will make every workout more comfortable. The Swimmer's Snorkel is also available in a Junior Size for ages 12 and under and youth size for ages 3-9.
Do you ever get bored of swimming laps? The FINIS SwiMP3, a waterproof MP3 player, allows you to listen to music in the water without ear buds. Using bone conduction technology, the SwiMP3 allows swimmers to listen to their favorite music throughout their swim. Working best when fully submerged in water, the SwiMP3 attaches to any goggle strap making it easily accessible during a workout. The SwiMP3 can be loaded using either a Mac or PC computer, and it is compatible with MP3 and WMA files. Loading this product up with your favorite music will make those last few laps fly by.

There is even a small beep to notify you when the exercise period is halfway done and you need to switch sides. The Circuit Trainer can hold up to 99 specific workout cycles, making it easy to switch up a workout.
Are your swimmers lacking hip rotation? The FINIS Tech Toc (coming soon to Amazon.co.uk) allows swimmers to hear and feel the rhythm and pace of their stroke. Worn around the hips, the ball bearing inside the Tech Toc hit the end of the capsule as the swimmer rotates or undulates. Providing instant audible feedback, swimmers are aware of how much to rotate and when the rotation is complete. The Tech Toc can be worn vertically when working on undulation for breaststroke and butterfly and horizontally to enforce hip rotation during freestyle and backstroke. Coaches can use the Tech Toc with any age and for any distance.
Incorporating all or any of these FINIS products into your workouts will allow you more time to focus on each individual swimmer and give them the attention they deserve.
