Finish Hydro Hip

The finis hydro hip is ideal for learning and improving proper hip rotation while swimming. The real power in swimming comes from the hips. With the two protruding blades on the sides of the hips the hydro hip helps with the timing of the hips arms and body. The hydro hip forces a swimmer to rotate quickly and fully at the top of every stroke. Furthermore the hydro hip provides good feedback on the timing of your swimming stroke. If the timing of the stroke is not good and/or you do not rotate your hips properly your hands will hit the protruding blades of the hydro hip. The hydro hip also helps strengthen the muscles involved in hip rotation. Thanks to the strong resistance created by the blades of the hydro hip muscles are generally trained and strengthened resulting in a more powerful swimming stroke. The hydro hip is best used for short training sessions and short-distance workouts. The hydro hip can be used for front crawl and back crawl as well as the breaststroke. If you want to use the hydro hip for the breaststroke place the hydro hip under your chest. This prevents you from bringing your elbows too far back and down during the arm stroke. If your arm stroke is not yet optimal your elbows will hit the blades of the hydro hip. If you use the hydro hip for the breaststroke you will develop a more efficient arm stroke. The hydro hip has a nylon strap is adjustable and fits everyone. The hydro hip can be worn on the hips or around the waist.
