This is a complete waste of money. I had high hopes after watching it on YouTube. I'm an intermediate swimmer but needs a lot of improvements with hip rotation and arm extension. I figured this thing would help. All it did was frustrate and distract me. First of all, the side fins kept slipping all the way to the back of the belt , that after one lap , it becomes a monofin.
I look like a shark with a belt on. It causes a lot of drag and stops you from moving forward. Plus, as the fin slips backwards, it scratches too.
Did anyone test this before selling it? I doubt it.
It's a $30 mistake. I give it a 1 star for fooling me.
Don't buy this piece of crap.

I can't tell you whether this product is any good. My swim coach suggested it might work, but she had problem making it fit right. She is thin. My problem is this product is only for SKINNY people. Unless you have some perfect swimmers body, it is likely it won't fit so well. I am in my 50s and I can tell you that it won't fit any above "average" waist.. Maybe it helps but WATCH OUT FOR SIZE- it's small small small

Great training tool for swimming or triathlon

I recently purchased the Hydro Hip Belt under the suggestion of my triathlon coach. I found the previous reviews to be inaccurate-- maybe the product has been improved since then. I had no problems with sizing (i have 40" hips and the belt fits fine with 6-8" to spare). Also, I've had no problems with the fins sliding around on belt.
I think this is a great tool to learn to 'lead with the hips' while doing freestyle, and to turn hips forcefully to increase Distance Per Stroke. My recommendation is to use this for only a small portion of your workout since its quite tiring to swim with this for long periods of time. The gains in efficiency and power are noticeable immediately after removing the belt and continuing to swim.
