Subject: Roka SIM Swim Jammers - FAST!! I was shopping on SwimOutlet for a new TYR swim square brief and on a whim bought the Roka SIM Jammers on sale. I had read about them and their use and don't plan to do all workouts with them. This summer season, starting Jun 1st when our local county public pool opens, all I had to swim in were my Nike jogging baggy shorts. So, I have been in them swimming for about a month, doing 4 sessions a week. Then I bought the Tyr briefs and Roka SIM jammers. I used the Roka jammers this Tuesday for a 20 x 100 set @ pace zone 4. Let's just say this: with the Nike shorts, I'd be about 1:33 ish avg. on these sets b/c of the drag. But, with these Jammers... my average pace was 1:23 to 1:24 (SCY ), .... so I tightened up the intervals after the first 2 from 1:50 to 1:45... but as I tired on the last 3, the intervals were 1:25-1:26.
I'm pretty impressed with them... and I can see as I've made progress with endurance and form, that I could attempt to swim that set on 1:35 in the not to distant future.
Anyways...my new question is: would these Roka SIM jammers be legal on a non wetsuit legal swim? |
