Make sure you are getting the most out of your investment in a Vasa Trainer Pro! Here we’ve collected some excellent resources for you. These are available to help athletes, coaches, and parents of young swimmers. Below are some suggestions and links to the top resources.
Overcome Monospeed With Your Vasa Trainer Pro
- Be sure you understand how to overcome a “monospeed” pull when swimming. This VasaBlog article teaches a fundamental principle that is very important for all swimmers to learn: Overcoming Freestyle Monospeed; Why How And When To Accelerate Hand Speed
Body Position & Propulsion Swim Training
2. Body position and propulsion are key elements to improve upon. This blog article will help you learn how to use the Vasa Trainer to improve both: Visualizing And Practicing Your Best Freestyle Swimming
It’s worthwhile to review your range of motion (ROM) to reveal limiters relative to efficient swimming. Ask your coach or yourself: “Does my ROM and bodyline need improving” to get into the best position? How can I pull that “imaginary ball” backward with power and acceleration?
Use your Vasa Trainer to build up your strength and sustained power to swim efficiently for an entire race. Consistent training with the Vasa Trainer will help you make that progress.
