Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>had a chance to catch up with Tony Shutts\u00a0<\/strong>at the most recent ASCA Clinic in Washington D.C. and hear about his new product, the\u00a0Aqua Boom.<\/p>\n

The Aqua Boom came on to the market is 2015 as a new training tool for a wide range of populations.\u00a0As Shutts explains in our interview, which can be seen below, he originally envisioned the product as a way to add more traditional strength and conditioning to pool workouts by enabling swimmers to do pull-ups, dips, and other exercises without leaving the water. However, coaches have quickly picked up on the product and started to implement it with their teams in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n

The product itself is simple: it fits into a starting block receptacle and can be used\u00a0in a variety of ways to add new dimensions to swim training.\u00a0As a fixed object that hangs over the water, the Aqua Boom can be used as an attachment for various equipment to use it for in-water power development, vertical kicking, technique work, stationary swimming, or a host of other strength and conditioning exercises. The product has already found it’s way into the hands of high profile coaches such as\u00a0Matt Kredich\u00a0<\/strong>at the University of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Shutts says he has seen the product used in a wide range of populations, from paraplegic athletes to age group swimmers to Olympians. You can see the full details of the Aqua Boom at www.theaquaboom.com<\/a> and see our full interview with Shutts about the product below.<\/p>\n
