The Key to Success Is a Perfect Technique
If you are a swimmer at a competing level and want to perform the absolute best, at all times – you need equipment that can help you fine-tune your technique down to the smallest detail. You need to be able to perform your absolute best at all times. We’ve done our best to develop products that will help you achieve your goals, and help bring you to the top. In our opinion, technique is key when you are competing at a high level, and therefore you need the best help you can get!
We are aware that the competitive swimmers world offers a lot of different products to help you improve your techniques. We have focused on developing four specific products that will allow you to enhance your technique all-round. What we’ve focused on specifically is: buoyancy, so that you can focus on getting forward instead of staying afloat. Steadiness, which allows you to improve your kicks. Liberation of your arms, so that you can focus one-hundred percent on your technique in the specific style you are swimming.Â
How have we done it?
We’ve told you about our ways to help, we’ve told you that technique is key, and we’ve told you something about some products. Now it’s time to dive deeper into our four specific products, and how they will benefit you.
- The Watery Heat Pull Buoy
Our pull buoy will lift your legs to the surface of the water, which enables you to focus on improving your strength in the arms, and therefore improve your strokes in the various styles. The pull buoy helps you to immobilize your legs; thus, you can build upper body strength through your workout and mentally focus on proper hip rotation generated by the core. - The Watery Heat Kickboard
Our kickboard will steady your upper body, and therefore give you plenty of possibilities to improve the strength of your kicks – which ultimately leads to a faster time, and of course stronger legs. Our kickboard will also be perfect for working on your lower body and practicing your swimming styles and techniques. The kickboard features grip holes that allow for different hand positioning and enables you to practice all the kicking drills, arm movements, and perfect undulation in butterfly. - The Watery Ultralight Snorkel
Our Ultralight Snorkel is perfect for swim practice and preparation for swimming competitions. Use Watery’s Ultralight snorkel to become a better swimmer. Our ultralight snorkel which is located at the center of your head, frees your arms and is made to improve your overall swimming. The center-position of the snorkel will help you breathe easier, while working on your crawl-swimming as an example. - The Watery Active Badger Fin
The badger fin is one the most effective pieces of equipment for improving both your technique and speed. The fin helps your legs to the top of the surface, with the sole purpose of staying more even in the water – and therefore reducing the resistance in the water. Watery Badger Active Fin helps swimmers on all levels to improve their lower body technique and strength. The Active Fin is an essential tool to help strengthen and speed up your kick for overall better performance in the pool.
The fins are designed to enhance your body’s natural ability in the water. It is tailored to improve your performance and speed during your swim workout.
As mentioned before, we’ve specially designed these products to help the competitive swimmer to perform faster and better. We want you to be able to be the best version of yourself – and in that process secure some gold medals.

Marc-Antoine Olivier (FRA) and Anna Olasz (HUN) were the winners of the second leg of the FINA/CNSG Marathon Swim World Series 2021, held this Saturday in Ohrid (MKD). The French star swam and won the men’s 10m km race in 1h54m54s60, while the Magyar ace triumphed in the women’s event in a time of 2h04m26s40. For Olivier, this is the second win of the year, after his initial success in the first event of the series on March 13, 2021, in Doha (QAT).

Kristof Rasovszky (HUN), the runner-up at the Tokyo Olympics (and also in Doha), was fourth in North Macedonia, touching in 1h55m08s40. Olivier was sixth in the Japanese capital but had won silver at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju (KOR). For Frach, 23 years old, this is the best result at world level.
Among women, the Hungarian winner was mainly challenged by Giulia Gabbrielleschi (ITA), silver medallist in 2h04m28s60, and by Caroline Jouisse (FRA), third in a time of 2h04m31s30. Olasz had been first in the Olympic Qualifier event for the Tokyo Games, but arrived to the Odaiba venue in the Japanese capital, she was fourth.
