Halo™ SPHandle (Swim Paddle and Handle Grip) with latex tubing
This tubing trainer design is specifically for swim stroke simulation– although it also can be used for many general exercises such as rotator cuff strength. The grips and the tubing length on the Halo™ SPHandle both uniquely address swim specific issues. The grip allows for a secure open-hand “paddle” like posture rather than a traditional fist grip and the ten foot tubing length allows a more gradual progressive-resistance pattern that mimics the swim-stroke path (unlike the short aerobic style tubing models. The 3'-5’ aerobic version tubes are generally too light at the beginning of the pull and too heavy at the end).
Progressive-resistance dryland training promotes acceleration through the stroke path when the athlete transfers the learned movement back to the water. This has a favorable effect because we always want our hand to be moving faster than the water it is pushing against.
Halo™ SPHandles are available in four color-coded resistance tubing levels:
yellow = light, red = medium, blue = heavy and black = x-heavy.
A general rule of thumb for choosing the correct tubing is to correspond body weight to tube resistance:
When in doubt of which resistance level - we advise to use a lighter resistance and do more and faster reps. The best thing about this tubing is the quick and convenient swim workout it can provide when you don’t have time to get to water.

Without a doubt the SPHandle tubing is the first thing I go for when I do dryland training. You will see many pros using these before a triathlon when there is no swim warm-up. It can travel from gym bag to home workout area to hotel to wherever you need to put in a few extra minutes of dryland swim training. I’ll even take it to the pool and use it in between some swim sets to insure I’m engaging the correct muscles when I feel my technique starting to get sloppy. As the saying goes “keep it simple swimmers”

I bought one of these about 10 years ago, and it has literally travelled the world with me. I mean millions of miles in the freezing cargo hauls and then hours baking in the trunk of a car. Now it was starting to get old and the quality is SO GOOD that I could still read the brand and I am very happy to get a new one. Will also get some other items from these guys.
