Innovative research and design is FINIS’ highest priority


If you are doing performance-oriented swim training or training for triathlon, you may have already come in contact with various training aids. This gives you many options for making your training more efficient and individual. The internationally established brand FINIS stands for creative technical solutions for the optimization of swimming training. This includes aids for strength, technique and endurance training, as well as training electronics such as timepieces and clocks.

Equipment for technique and resistance training

Some of the brand's training aids are based on the principle of resistance training, which can take place both in the water and on land. This improves condition and strength. When swimming you can for example use a swimming screen or a resistance pants. You attach the swimming umbrella with a belt and pull it in the water behind you. The increased water resistance requires a higher force. A resistance pants you pull over your normal swimwear. It also causes additional resistance due to its processing. The dryland cords provide strength training on dry land. FINIS also has other training aids for performance-oriented swimming in its range, such as swimming snorkels or paddles.

More success with versatile training electronics

Your swim training will become more efficient, interesting and diversified with certain electronic devices. For example, measuring your performance with stopwatches or lap counters can increase your motivation. A heart rate monitor monitors your heart rate and thus allows subsequent evaluations. A popular device for supporting swimming training is an electronic clock. It gives you acoustic signals at regular intervals, to which you can adapt your swimming rhythm. So you swim more evenly and do not tire so fast. Especially for triathletes is the waterproof GPS tracker, with which you can evaluate your swim outdoors in the field. A very popular item of this brand is a waterproof MP3 player, with which you do not have to do without your favorite music while swimming. The company was founded in 1993 in California by John Mix and the successful swimmer Pablo Morales. The first development was a monofin. The company now has offices in nearly 40 countries around the world and works with many internationally successful floats and swim coaches.
