 Forward by Agnese Ozolina Butler - 3x Olympic Swimmer and ASCA Certified Swimming Coach
(Latvian Olympic Team: Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 & Athens 2004) In observing the swim stroke of triathletes and swimmers alike, the
greatest opportunity to maximize efficiency and speed was found in improving the position,
feel and power at the proper "catch" position. LAT CORDS have become a proven method to quickly accomplish
this while also developing core strength, muscle specific awareness and overall technique. Even the most
experienced swimmers can benefit. I've done the math, and after swimming the yardage equivalent to over 3 times around
the world, you would think I wouldn't need a reminder, but it is easy to forget and become sloppy. LAT CORDS workouts continue
to make it easier for me to understand what my arm is supposed to feel while underwater. In addition to improving
my own technique, LAT CORDS are an effective substitute for missed workouts or while traveling without access
to adequate facilities. As many of you know, I would "never" skip my swim workouts, but if I ever had
to (due to hurricane, illness or other) I am able to maintain my strength and conditioning. Just by adding 2-3
LAT CORDS workouts (each 10-15 min) per week, you will have an immediate impact on your swim training. My
favorite workout is 10 sets of 60 seconds with core/leg workout in between sets. You will not believe the workout you
can get in 45 - 60 minutes. We
are now accepting orders via email Agnese@TriathlonRocks.com. LAT CORDS will be priced at $50.00 plus tax and
will include a 2-year repair warranty (shipping not included).
 Set
up: LAT CORDS can be wrapped around anything from a 2-inch diameter pole to an 18-inch diameter tree
or palm, wrap them at about the same level as your waistline. |
