Forearm Fulcrum Swim Trainer - Promotes Early Vertical Forearm Position - Improves Stroke Technique - Adults

Good product works well

I bought it and didn’t use it too much at the beginning. Lately I brought it to the pool and keep using it. After all it gave me right form while swimming because my left arm needs more attention and not like the right arm. This helps me a LOT! It’s a great buy!

Good product.

Having learned to swim as an adult only recently, I was skeptical whether or not these would work, yet they were suggested to me after a multiple-camera swim analysis. I tried wearing them for a lap, and then not wearing them for a couple of laps to see if I could remember the positioning that the Fulcrums force you into (high elbow pull). While I was given several different pieces of advice on how to improve my forward crawl (freestyle) stroke), I did notice that on three repeat tests after the first use of the Fulcrums, I had clipped my lap time by as much as ten to twelve seconds. The shape forced my arm to nail that high elbow position for every stroke.Since I know that this is an unusual amount of time to clip, I didn't mention anything to my swimming buddies who have seen me from the start of my swimming learning curve. However, one of those swim buddies happened to see me when I was doing laps on my own without the fulcrums on, and she mentioned that my stroke has become much smoother. It has corrected an overly deep pull that has aggravated some shoulder pain, and because it helps you become aware of your elbow angle in the water, it's a great tool to use on occasion to build that muscle memory needed for people like me who never grew up swimming, and quite possibly for others who have learned bad habits.The lack of five stars for the review is probably just a matter of personal fit -- I have a skinny forearm (the world's smallest adult paddles, hah!) -- and so the plastic up against my skin when I have to grip the front piece to keep my arms from shifting inside of it is a little strange and uncomfortable, especially between the thumb and index finger.

I'm an above average swimmer doing 100 m in about 100 sec short course, I had a guy tell me in the pool that my arms crossed over the centerline at water entry, but it was not terrible. I've been feeling mild shoulder injury occasionally that would keep me out of the pool for two or three days. So I decided to get this fulcrum. The first time, I used it upside down by mistake, and I felt it was a total waste of money. Very flumsy. But after I started using it correctly for a week to 10 days my arms started entering straight in front of my shoulder totally eliminating the cross over. I had the usual pool life guard tell me that my hands are now entering correctly. Used it for two lengths freestyle of 25 in any session followed by 2 L no fulcrum to burn the correct feel into my muscle memory. Repeat 5 to 10 times. Worked great. After the initial two weeks, I'm now probably using it for 5 min a week to cement the feel and perfect it.Plus this fulcrum is great to promote the high elbow catch.

I'm an older guy who took up swimming for triathlons. I bought the Forearm Fulcrum knowing that I tend to drop my elbows when I swim. They came with no instructions, other than to watch a video online. I'm not sure they help me much, unless the incredible awkwardness is a sign of how much I need them. I loaned them to one of my swimmer friends, and she also thought the same thing: you feel like you might drown! She is a petite little athlete, and I'm over 6 foot, so the awkwardness applies to a wide range of heights. Because of it, I don't use them much. On the other hand, they are so cheap, why not give them a shot?

It makes sure your forearms are supported through the catch-pull-recover stroke cycle. Have only used it for freestyle and have kept it there. Like using it, don’t know if it will ever get comfortable to use. It does not chafe or hurt, it feels like you have something stiff on your arm while trying to work out. Which, yeah you do.

Great training tool, really helps to get the early vertical firearm (EVF) in freestyle, game changer for sure

bardzo sztywna

Fanno parte del mio armamentario della piscina. Aiutano molto a corregge il movimento della bracciata. Da utilizzare come parte integrante per gli esercizi e ancora di più da alternare in lunghe sessioni. Riuscire a dimenticare di averle indossate e non perderle durante la nuotata significa fare propri dei movimenti più corretti per scorrere in maniera più fluida in acqua. Consigliate per tutti!

Good for the pool, helps with your stroke

Wer bei seinem Armzug darauf achtet, wie viele Luftblasen entstehen, wird erstaunt sein, wie stark sich diese reduzieren, nachdem mit den Forearm Paddles trainiert wurde. Auch übergreife ich nicht mehr, seit dem ich mit den Paddles trainiere. Damit die Dinger nicht verrutschen, muss auf eine korrekte Hand- und Armhaltung geachtet werden. Meine Hand- und Armhaltung und meine Zug- und Druckphase haben sich verbessert. Anfangs fühlte es sich ungewohnt und mühsam an und ich kam auch nicht recht vorwärts - nach einiger Zeit stellte sich aber hier eine deutliche Verbesserung ein und im direkten Vergleich: 100 m ohne - 100 m mit - 100 m ohne sind ebenfalls deutliche Unterschiede zu bemerken. Ich kann die Teile durchaus empfehlen.

My Grandson swims for our local club and I bought these for training. Just the thing to help with good technique and stroke.would recommend.
