Swimming and Water Polo

In water polo you need to have extreme lower body strength and endurance because you need to keep your body up and above the water for a long period of time. You’re also swimming back and forth, so you also need upper body endurance and strength. So what we do is have you put on the Xvest™ while you’re in the water and have you do eggbeater drills for time. We can take you out of the water and have you do road-conditioning drills. We’re able to put resistance on your upper body in the water and have you do swimming drills for time and distance. We’re able to condition your body to hold the weights and increase your resistance once you take it off and go back in the water, you’ll notice that you have found new strength, speed and have more endurance.

Side Note: The U.S. Women’s Synchronize Swimming Team currently utilizes the Xvest™.
