We never did laps with these. Used them for strength and speed work doing high intensity 25's and 50's. We used the 12 inch for really strong swimmers and the 8 inch for girls and butterfly work (I have used the 12 for butterfly, but it is tough to maintain stroke form for me with the big one-that said it gives one a great shoulder burn, but seems as though you can overwork the joint/muscles/tendons easily if not well trained). I like to use this for warm up before a race, it helps me feel the water better and gets the muscles ready faster (although in Master's swimming this may be illegal, so be forewarned). Review: Great training aid - I have been using this product for many years. Previously I would swim with nail aprons from Home Depot. This is significantly better. A favorite set is to do rotations of 200 w/chute, 300 w/ paddles, 200 swim all on the same interval. This is a killer set and will get you strong in no time. ## Features - Swim Parachute: Improve your strength and speed in the water with this resistance-training parachute; the adjustable belt provide customizable workouts; available in two sizes - Swimming Pool Accessories: The Swim Parachute is an essential addition to any swimmer's kit; its non-intrusive design won't interfere with your stroke or flip turns - Swim Training Equipment: The Swim Parachute is perfect for swimmers of all levels looking to improve their skills; build muscle, endurance, and speed with every use - Resistance Training: The Swim Parachute provides varying levels of resistance for a challenging workout - About FINIS: Our mission is to simplify swimming through innovation, high-quality products, and a commitment to education ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004O6A32G | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,584 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #13 in Swim Belts | | Brand | FINIS | | Brand Name | FINIS | | Color | Red - 8 Inch | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 824 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00616323201859 | | Included Components | FINIS Swim Parachute (8 Inch, Red) | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8"L x 8"W | | Item Form | Parachute | | Item Highlight | Build strength, endurance and speed with resistance training that works across all four strokes without disrupting your swim | | Item Type Name | FINIS Swim Parachute (8 Inch, Red) | | Item Weight | 0.27 kg | | Manufacturer | FINIS | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1.05.110.102 | | Material | Other | | Material Type | Other | | Model Number | 1.05.110.102 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occupancy | 1 person | | Personal Flotation Device Type | Buoyancy Aid | | Product Dimensions | 8"L x 8"W | | Size | 8 Inch | | Special Features | Adjustable belt, non-intrusive design, resistance-training | | UPC | 616323201859 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 30 Day Limited | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** FINIS - **Color:** Red - 8 Inch - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00616323201859 - **Item Form:** Parachute - **Item Weight:** 0.27 kg - **Material:** Other - **Product Dimensions:** 8"L x 8"W - **Size:** 8 Inch - **Special Feature:** Adjustable belt, non-intrusive design, resistance-training ## Images ![Swim Parachute for Resistance Training - Builds Strength & Endurance - Adjustable Belt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VwN902vrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which color is which size?** A: Hi, Navy is 12 inch and Red is 8 Inch. #TEAMFINIS **Q: Iā€™m an avid swimmer but doing an assignment in a place where i only have access to a 15 yd pool. would this work in such a short pool? 8ā€ or 12ā€? ty!** A: FINIS tells us, yes they can use it in that pool. That's 45 yards so suitably long to get off the wall and have the parachute be behind. The strap the parachute is on can be knotted to make it shorter as well. As for size, it's your preference. Larger creates more drag and therefore a tougher swim. **Q: Which size provides the most resistance?** A: Larger parachutes will catch more water and provide more drag. #FINIS **Q: Does this come with 2 sizes of chutes?** A: Hi, We carry 2 sizes of the swim parachutes, however, they are not in the same package. You would have to buy either the 8inch or 12 inch. #TEAMFINIS ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Great great training aide *by K***R on December 31, 2013* I have had great luck personally using these and using them for my HS swim team.

Previously I would swim with nail aprons from Home Depot. This is significantly better. A favorite set is to do rotations of 200 w/chute, 300 w/ paddles, 200 swim all on the same interval. This is a killer set and will get you strong in no time. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ The cure for insomnia (most nights, just not tonight) *by E***E on August 1, 2013* The first night I used my drag chute (for about 500 meters total), I stopped to pick up Chipotle to pick up dinner on the way home. When I got home at 8:30, I was so tired, I shoved my beloved fajita burrito bowl in the fridge without even unwrapping it, did a faceplant into my bed and didn't open my eyes again until 7:30 the next morning. That's the good sort of tired. I tend to use it with paddles, pull buoy and ankle lock and I alternate 100 or 200 meters with the chute and then the same distance without. You can feel the difference immediately. So far, the only issue is that I have to remember to put the strap directly in the small of my back or else it gets dragged at my 4:00 or 8:00 instead of my 6:00 which is annoying. I usually need to tighten the belt before each workout b/c it tends to end up around my hips instead of my waist. But both are easily remedied. Turns with it are OK, although I have to initiate the flip a couple inches closer to the wall because I have less momentum coming in and I have to be slightly more careful placing my feet to avoid getting the leash tangled around my legs. All in all, it's worth it -- I love how tired it makes me and I'm already seeing an improvement in the distance I cover during my breaststroke pullout. This is good because my kick is so terrible, I depend on my walls to get anywhere. ## Frequently Bought Together - FINIS Swim Parachute - Swim Training Equipment for Resistance Training - Swim and Pool Accessory - One Swim Aquatic Power Bags- Versatile Swim Bag & Drag Socks for Swimmer Strength & Fitness, Gear to Pool Exercise on Arms, Legs or Swim Parachute Resistance Training as a Belt- to Beginners & Experts - Speedo Unisex-Adult Swim Training Snorkel Bullet Head --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2125798-swim-parachute-for-resistance-training-builds-strength-and-endurance-adjustable](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2125798-swim-parachute-for-resistance-training-builds-strength-and-endurance-adjustable) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
