How Drag Shorts Work
- Added Resistance: Drag shorts increase drag, making each stroke require more effort.
- Muscle Activation: The extra resistance targets key muscle groups — especially the core, shoulders, chest, and arms. Over time, this builds strength and improves muscular endurance.
- Stroke Refinement: Because drag shorts slow you down, they help swimmers focus on maintaining efficient technique under fatigue. This is especially useful for stroke length and rate control.
- Training Intensity: Wearing drag shorts during sprint sets or aerobic work increases the training load without needing extra distance or time. They’re ideal for swimmers with limited pool time who want maximum impact.
- Psychological Boost: Some swimmers use drag shorts early in a set and remove them later to feel a burst of speed — a mental edge that mimics tapering effects
