The Drag+Fly training device makes the swimmer work harder while maintaining a natural stroke. The innovative cone design provides a varied level of resistance by opening and closing the aperture.

Drag+Fly can be used to compress the time required for a workout or as a professional training aid. Drag+Fly can be used in a community pool or the surf. Drag+Fly is used worldwide by professional athletes.

Drag+Fly has been designed with a high degree of consideration for usability and ease-of-integration. The cone is designed to enable progressive resistance loading. This is achieved with easily adjusted zippers which control the level of resistance enabling varied workouts and training activities. 

The hydrodynamic properties of the cone ensure the swimmers position in the water is unaffected (hips don’t drop). The waist-belt is designed to fit all users and is very comfortable in water. The towline is designed to float and remain untangled during tumble-turns. The towline cover was selected and tested to be comfortable on impact with the body.
