Finis Parachute
Finis Swim Parachute — Resistance Training Tool for Swimmers
The Finis Swim Parachute is a versatile resistance training tool designed to build muscle, increase endurance, and boost swim speed. A comfortable, adjustable nylon belt connects to a durable drag parachute, creating resistance that makes forward movement more challenging — so when the parachute is removed, swimmers feel an immediate improvement in speed and power.
Available in two sizes to suit different training goals: Red (8 inch) for moderate resistance and Navy (12 inch) for greater drag and advanced training.
Key Features
- Provides Additional Drag: Everyday resistance training that makes forward movement more difficult, building strength and endurance over time
- Builds Muscle, Increases Endurance & Boosts Speed: Resistance when worn translates to faster, more powerful swimming without the parachute
- Versatile — All Four Strokes: Compatible with freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly
- Adjustable Nylon Belt: Comfortable, easy-to-adjust fit for most swimmers
- Non-Intrusive Design: Does not interfere with kicking or flip turns
- Two Resistance Sizes: Red (8" diameter) for moderate resistance; Navy (12" diameter) for maximum drag
Who Is It For?
The Finis Swim Parachute suits competitive swimmers, triathletes, and squad swimmers looking to develop power and race-pace speed. It is equally effective for junior and adult swimmers at intermediate to advanced levels.
