Ankle pull strap

Ankle pull strap is a universal ankle-securing trainer for upper-body training in swimming. Exercises with the strap strengthen the core muscles, which improves the stabilizing body position in the water, and help develop power and strength endurance during stroke movements in different swimming styles.

It is a rubber strap that is put on the ankles in a figure-eight and almost completely eliminates leg movement. This is especially needed when you want to concentrate on arm work and completely exclude the legs. It comes in one size and suits both adults and children. It is mainly recommended for experienced swimmers to improve swimming technique, overall endurance and coordination of the core and arm muscles. Beginners can also try this trainer; it will do no harm.

The Ankle pull strap can be placed on the ankles in different ways depending on the chosen swimming style. For front crawl the strap is put on in a figure-eight around the ankles; for butterfly the strap is put on as a ring on the shins, just below the knees (for children it can be twisted into a figure-eight); for breaststroke the strap is put on just above the knees.

To make training more effective, the Ankle pull strap is used together with the ALIGNMENT kickboard.
