With a pull buoy you can work on the upper body (arms, chest, shoulders).
It can be positioned between your legs in 2 ways:
- either between the thighs (most common), for better buoyancy.
- or between the knees or ankles to learn how to stretch your body. This position is not suitable for people who suffer from back problems (as it arches the back).

The pull buoy can be used with paddles to work on your arm muscles. It's a good training technique for athletes with "heavy" or stiff legs, as it lifts them.

Using it with the paddles gives you good feelings of speed.

You can also use the pull buoy as a kickboard for leg kicks.

Paddles are placed on your hands. The propulsion area is larger, so the mass of water moved is larger: the paddles allow you to work on catching the water.
They also help to build arm muscles, especially if used with a pull buoy.

There are different sizes of paddle:
- Small paddles can be used by children and women with low muscle strength, and are also useful for working on your swimming stroke and technique.
- Medium and large paddles are for adults.

The bigger the paddles, the better the workout as long as the swimmer can keep pulling their hands through the water.
Paddles give the swimmer good feelings of speed and pressure.
Use them to identify major arm entry faults.

Don't use paddles that are too big or swim for too long with them as sometimes they can cause tendonitis in the shoulder.

Fins are great for working on your legs and heart.
There are many different ways to use them:
- With a kickboard: Ideal for working on your buttocks and thighs.
- With paddles: With paddles, for gentle muscle building in the arms and legs.
- Without a kickboard or paddles: ideal for working on your technique and breathing (in butterfly, for example, fins make it easier to
sweep your arms backwards through the air.

The longer the fins, the more they work on your thighs. Shorter fins mean more regular and faster kicking, to slim down legs.

You wear an elastic band around your ankles to intensify arm work. They should only be used by confirmed swimmers, who use them to build up arm muscles.
There are different combinations:
- Swimming with an elastic band and pull buoy to really work on the arms and only use upper body muscles.
- Swimming with a pull buoy, paddles and elastic band; this is the quickest way. It builds up muscle strength and creates a good impression of speed.
- Swimming with just an elastic band: strengthens the arms and helps stretch the body, but is hard work..

It is extremely important to drink plenty when training.

Swimming is an endurance sport, and you will sweat a lot even though you don't notice this. You should drink about 800ml of water for every hour you swim. Get into the habit of taking your water bottle to the pool side, and stop to take a few mouthfuls all through your training session.

Don't wait until you feel thirsty.

The Fatigless shorty suit is used for training.

It cuts fatigue by 20% and increases propulsion capacity by 8%, all thanks to the materials used.

It is composed of two different fibre qualities:
- A body-shaping fibre which exerts pressure on the areas of the swimmer's body which are most worked on;
- A very elastic fibre which offers great freedom of movement in the shoulders.

The Fatigless shorty suit allows your body to recover more quickly after training sessions.

The Multipool training bag is ideal for carrying all your training equipment.
You can store your equipment and allow it to dry in the compartments and ventilated sections.
