MP Swim Tips by Bob Bowman – Episode Six
Bob Bowman, head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils Swimming and Diving Team, explains how his swimmers train with paddles. Demonstrated by the greatest athlete of all-time, Michael Phelps, training with paddles adds resistance to your stroke and builds strength.
Bob likes the unique design of the MP Strength Paddle and how it mimics the hand. One of the great ways to learn technique is to add resistance, and these paddles are ideal for that.
