Their arm strength and technique is generally good but they have poor body positioning creating a lot of drag and ‘dead weight’, which makes it much harder to swim efficiently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuoyancy shorts place the swimmer in the correct horizontal and streamlined position, helping to build a ‘neural pattern’ of how they should feel in the water. This also allows the swimmer to concentrate on a more effective leg kick and glide with each stroke, without that ‘sinking leg’ feeling. The extra support also allows the swimmer to focus more on their arm stroke technique. Results have shown that over time a swimmer’s body position, speed and endurance can be significantly increased by training with buoyancy shorts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for any level of triathlete who wants to refine their open water swimming technique while in a pool. Swimming in a wetsuit during a triathlon is very different to swimming without a wetsuit during a swimming race. The majority of your power needs to derive from your upper body whereas your legs and core provide the essential control. These shorts help develop your open water swimming technique while in the pool, where wearing a full wetsuit would either be too hot, or banned by the life-guards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor use in open-water training or races as an alternative to swimming in a full wetsuit (when the water is warm enough!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach set of shorts has a drawstring so they can be tightened to any waist size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zone 3","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":47600275620052,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":47600275652820,"sku":"NA18MBSO101\/M","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":47600275685588,"sku":"NA18MBSO101\/L","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":47600275718356,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4092\/6149\/files\/Screenshot2026-02-27at12.26.40PM.png?v=1772213265","url":"https:\/\/www.brownssports.ca\/products\/buoyancy-shorts-the-originals-5-3mm","provider":"Brown's Sports \u0026 Cycle Co.
