The 1Flexband elastic training strap goes everywhere you do, improving your power and range of motion. It is ideal to use before practices and meets to improve your speed and power. One band helps you to develop power and flexibility. Choose from 1 of 2 resistance levels. The light gauge band is ideal for use by beginners while the heavy gauge is best for all around use.

• Use with beginners to restrict flutter kicks with too much knees
• Use to restrict breast kicks that are too wide
• Use for a wide range of dryland flexibility and muscle drills

Power Your Kick!

Lengthens your kick with less knees, and higher hips  (similar to our KickBand)

To Use: First ankle through the outer loop, Other ankle through the Center loop only

Ankle Buoy Strap

Ideal to convert nearly any pull buoy into an ankle buoy 

Squeezing a buoy between our ankles is great for developing kick-specific muscles but also great to power the ‘recovery’ phase of your Fly kick when kicking on your back at the surface.  Ankle buoys are also great for practicing our flip and open turns.

To Use: slide the buoy into the center loop.  Place each ankle in the 2 outer loops

Restrict Your Knees while Flutter Kicking

Beginners often bend their knees too much on Freestyle and Backstroke
The 1FlexBand can quickly restrict the knees and lengthen their kick

To Use:  Each ankle in an outside loop

Restrict the Width of the Breaststroke Knees

 The thighs and knees need to remain about shoulder width to prevent excess resistance. Our band will help train an ideal kick width

Strap is tight so you can use it BELOW the knees which is the ideal place to help you FEEL resistance when recovering your legs.   Even advanced swimmers will learn to ‘hide their kick’ better by using our strap just BELOW the knees.

To Use:  Place the outer loops just below (or above) each knee
