“I’ve enjoyed moving to a new level in swimming this year, which I believe is due (in part) to a few minor changes to my swim training. First, I have incorporated a new swim device into my drills. The device is called a “techpaddle”, which assists swimmers with developing what is called an”Early Vertical Forearm” or EVF. EVF allows the swimmer to keep their elbow high in the water when beginning their pull. In doing so, more surface area from the arm is used in the pull…allowing for a more efficient and more powerful stroke.”
