Finis Hydro Hip

What is the Hydro Hip?

The Hydro Hip provides resistance training to build power for hip rotation. It is an advanced training product consisting of a belt and two small fins that protrude from each hip, intended to be worn around the swimmer's waist for freestyle swimming (or near the chest for swimming breaststroke). A minimum guideline for who should be using the Hydro Hip, includes Junior National level swimmers, tri-athletes and age group members; 14 and above.

The magic of the Hydro Hip actually happens when you take it off, even after swimming as little as a hundred yards. It is specifically intended for short-distance training and quickly teaches you to drive your swim from the hips, as opposed to pulling with your arms. Ultimately, this will create a "power snap" at the hips. It is estimated that you get close to a 100% return on energy expenditure from your hips, versus only about 20% from your arms. The Hydro Hip is designed specifically to take advantage of this ratio and help you achieve a more technical and powerful stroke.
