MP Swim Tips by Bob Bowman – Episode Seven
Bob Bowman, head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils Swimming and Diving Team, explains how his swimmers train with fins. Demonstrated by the greatest athlete of all-time, Michael Phelps, training with fins adds race tempo to specific sets in swim practice.
THE MP ALPHA PRO FIN
Bob likes the unique design of the Alpha Pro Fin because it mimics a swimmer’s foot better than a traditional fin. The Alpha Pro Fin is shaped so the swimmer kicks in a natural position, kicking the proper way. The Alpha Pro Fin is the most comfortable fin on the market without losing the resistance and the power-work you can do with it.
