Whether used by male or female Olympic swimmers in the open water or the pool, or septuagenarians and octogenarians rehabilitating after hip and knee surgeries, a growing number of swimmers in dozens of countries from age-groupers to older masters swimmers are using KAATSU Aqua for speed improvement, fitness and recovery.
Sprint butterfly + pull-ups + pull-outs + push-ups with the pneumatic KAATSU Aqua Bands are notoriously difficult. 8 x 25 with 5 pull-ups and 10 push-ups are extraordinarily tough.
Competitive swimmers, open water swimmers, water polo players, triathletes, surfers, and other watermen and waterwomen can use KAATSU Aqua leg bands to enhance speed, stamina, strength and “feel” in the water.
Aquatic athletes can pull a parachute with KAATSU Aqua Bands to enhance speed, stamina, strength and “feel” in the water.
Using the pneumatic KAATSU Aqua Bands by identifying the appropriate Base SKU (compression) and inflated Optimal SKU (compression), swimmers, water polo players and triathletes and everyone from those rehabilitating to individuals simply focused on fitness can really work on their core in the water.
