What The Brick does for your core and kick, The Mortar does for your core and pull. Regular buoys and boards do half the work for you. They carry a massive amount of your weight and reduce the burden of training the way you have to race, which is with your entire body.
At just over 3 pounds, The MORTAR does what no other buoy, stretch cord, parachute, or you name it can:
- Strengthens core muscles because The MORTAR only supports itself, so you have to engage your core to keep those giant leg muscles up on the water
- Improves your catch because the added resistance forces you to pull smarter
- Speeds up your turns because you're flipping the weight over your body or pulling it under every time you turn
AND...
- Doubles as dryland weight!
All of which leads to:
- Improved body position so you swim on top of the water, not through it
