Today’s FINIS Set of the Week comes from Keith Jizmejian. Jizmejian is the Regional Business Development Manager for FINIS and manages the western half of the United States. A former swimmer and water polo player at California-Baptist University, Jizmejian is the avid water enthusiast. He is currently based in Southern California and when he’s not selling swim gear, he’s either getting in a midday swim or surfing the waves.
There are a ton of different ways swimmers are looking to get better nowadays. Whether it’s experimenting with a new type of training or trying out a new product – swimmers are curious creatures. One age old product has been tooled time and time again, but no brand has quite as much success as FINIS – we are talking about the hand paddles.
From the Agility paddles, to the Freestyler paddles and now to the Iso paddles – FINIS has hit the full spectrum on hand paddles. Their latest addition, the Iso paddle (released earlier this week), is unique in that it targets specifically the interior or exterior muscle groups of the upper body, based on the hand their worn on. That’s right, you can wear each paddle on either hand and get separate benefits.
Check out this little set below to work on training specific muscle groups.
