Drag Shorts

Drag shorts have become a squad kit essential for helping to build upper body strength and Simply Swim have a wide range of designs and styles for all committed swimmers. Drag shorts will increase water resistance by minimising the ease that water can flow through the double layer of fabric, forcing the upper body to give greater pull and therefore increasing arm rotation to build more muscle. The drag shorts sit over a normal swimsuit or jammer and have a waist tie to ensure they do not slip down or move around when training. This type of training equipment provides sufficient drag in the water in all strokes with a double layer of fabric to add resistance. Many swimmers wear drag shorts through their whole training sessions to help them become accustomed to this level of drag and then remove the shorts for competition or time trials, giving them a more free feeling and faster swim. We have various brands including Arena, Maru and Head, in some wild and vibrant colours for a boost of excitement at any club or squad training sessions. These shorts come in sizes small through to extra-large for a wide range and to ensure a proper fit and feel when swimming. Improve your swimming strength with this simple piece of swim training kit.
