Mad Wave Long Safety Cord Black Green – 3.6 – 10.8kg

The Mad Wave long bungee cords are officially labeled as ‘long safety cords’ but they’re more commonly referred to as stretch cords, resistance cords or pool bungee cords. The stretchy bungee style rope provides resistance for swimmers in their training sessions at the pool. Most commonly used for resisted swim out and speed assisted swim back exercises.

What Are “Stretch Cords” Used For?

These stretch cords are fantastic tools for resistance training in the pool. Simply attach it to your waist with a belt (we recommend the Mad Wave Waist Belt), and attach the other end to the starting blocks and you’re training with resistance! Swim coaches like to use this type of tool to teach swimmers about their stroke technique, as well as using them to build power, strength, and stamina.

Using the stretch cords to focus on stroke technique will reveal the dead spot in the “catch” phase of your stroke straight away because any slip ups will cause you to be pulled backwards in the constant tug-of-war battle between swimmer and resistance cord. The cord is always pulling you backwards, so it’s up to you to push against the resistance to maintain the same position.

Why Is It Named “Safety Cord”?

Well, in the centre of this 6 meter stretch cord is an internal ‘safety core’, which means that the cords lock-out at their full stretch (around 20m) and will not stretch any further. This safety core prevents the stretch cord from tearing so that you can keep using it in confidence!
