NEOPRENE BUOYANCY SHORTS - EASY INDOOR SWIMMING

Why Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts?

Buoyancy shorts main goal is to simulate the benefits of a wetsuit minus the suit part. They offer many advantages which help athletes make the transition from outdoor swimming to indoor with the coming colder seasons. The main advantage being, as the name suggests, they create significant lift for the legs and hips which helps improve body posture in the water. Weaker swimmers, or leg sinkers, will be eternally grateful for the results which includes increased speed and improved efficiency.

Why Indoor Swimming?

A triathlon wetsuit provides buoyancy when in the water meaning that making the transition over to the plain, old pool can be quite challenging. The main issue that most swimmers face is a lack of core stability and lacklustre leg kicks which results in more drag than speed. The buoyancy provided in buoyancy shorts simulate the feeling of a wetsuit, making it significantly easier to hold a correct posture when swimming. This means that you can focus on a more effective leg kick and arm stroke

How Do you Wear Them?

Neoprene buoyancy shorts can be worn over your current swim-costume if you wish and, when the sun finally decides to show again, they can be used in open-water training too or as

an alternative to wearing a full wetsuit.
