The FINIS Swim Parachute is a swimming training accessory designed for swimmers and triathletes looking to increase resistance in the water and make their workouts more challenging. By creating additional drag while swimming, the parachute helps develop swimming strength, power and resistance while allowing you to maintain a swimming-specific movement pattern.
Compact, easy to use and simple to integrate into your training sessions, the FINIS Swim Parachute is an effective tool for adding resistance work to your swimming workouts and improving your overall performance in the water.
The FINIS Swim Parachute is particularly suited to experienced swimmers, competitive swimmers and triathletes looking to add resistance training to their swimming sessions.
It is ideal for:
Swimmers who are new to resistance training should introduce the parachute gradually and use appropriate distances and intensities to maintain good swimming technique.
A swim parachute works by increasing drag as you move through the water. The additional resistance requires you to apply more force to maintain your speed, creating an effective stimulus for strength and power development.
The FINIS Swim Parachute can be incorporated into short, high-intensity intervals or specific resistance sets. It is also a useful way to add variety to your training while keeping the exercises specific to swimming.
The goal is not simply to swim harder, but to learn how to produce force while maintaining an efficient body position and good swimming technique.
The FINIS Swim Parachute is available in different sizes, including 8-inch and 12-inch versions.
The appropriate size depends on the swimmer’s level, training objectives and the amount of resistance required. Swimmers new to parachute training may prefer a lower level of resistance (8-inch), while experienced swimmers can opt for greater resistance (12-inch) during dedicated strength and power sets.
Whatever the size, the key is to choose a resistance level that allows you to maintain efficient swimming technique throughout the exercise.
For triathletes, swimming-specific strength and power can complement regular endurance and technique sessions. The FINIS Swim Parachute provides a simple way to introduce resistance work directly into the pool.
It can be used during dedicated strength sessions or incorporated into selected intervals as part of a broader triathlon swimming training program.
Combined with other swimming training equipment such as paddles, fins, pull buoys and snorkels, a swim parachute can help create varied and purposeful sessions throughout the season.
The FINIS Swim Parachute is an effective training tool for swimmers and triathletes who want to add resistance to their workouts and develop greater strength and power in the water.
Whether you are preparing for competition, improving your swimming performance for triathlon or simply looking to make your training sessions more demanding, the FINIS Swim Parachute can be a valuable addition to your swim training equipment.
Add resistance to your swimming and train your strength, power and endurance in the water with FINIS.
