Anyone have experience using either of these products?

They are supposed to help with swimming technique. I watched the online videos & they look interesting.

Love to have opinions from users. Thanks in advance.

    All to do with hip rotation to give power to stroke rather than shoulder muscles. Apparently, must faster swimming. Anyone use hip rotation in their technique?

    I am a reasonably good swimmer (do 2km in 45 mins) but recently went to lessons to get faster and now am slower whilst I get to grip with my new technique. This does involve hip rotation (I never did this before) and its a great core workout. I was told to google Michael Phelps slow motion videos as these are great examples of technique - you can see his hips almost break water on the rotate! Its all about getting a minimal line in the water.

    I wouldn't use a product to help - just practise it yourself first or maybe get a lesson or two.
