New Product Introductions
Swimming is a popular exercise and offers an excellent low impact exercise for both cardiovascular and strength training. American Son Products, Inc is very pleased to introduce three new product lines designed specifically for swimming: the EZ Swimmer™™, our comfortable and perfect for the hot tub or pool Water Shoes, and stylized safety and instruction signs for your pool or spa.
EZ Swimmer™ is a new swimming accessory designed specifically to make swimming fun, convenient, and easy! Perhaps best described as an aquatic pillow, the EZ Swimmer™ allows you swim in a relaxed position while doing the backstroke or the breast stroke and allows you to keep your hair and face away from the water.
Unlike any product before it, the EZ Swimmer™ is able to offer swimmers the convenience of swimming in an exceptionally relaxed position. While most users simply enjoy the added buoyancy the EZ Swimmer™ provides for relaxation and convenience, for others, the supplemental buoyancy is a prerequisite for them to be able to swim when hindered by an injury or surgery.
From exercise enthusiasts seeking a better method for toning, to athletes who wish to further expedite their rehabilitation process, and to those of us who simply desire the readily-available ease of the added buoyancy, the EZ Swimmer™ provides many useful benefits. But none are as great as the one thing we all need more of: the motivation to exercise - to move, stretch and swim!
And how is the EZ Swimmer™ different from the other swimming flotation products? The EZ Swimmer™ is designed to encourage you to move. Unlike kickboards, noodles and the Aqua Jogger™, the EZ Swimmer™ offers buoyancy exactly where you need it and nothing more. The EZ Swimmer™ has been specifically engineered to encourage the user to move. How is this accomplished, one might ask?
Much like the balance ball, which offers a wonderful workout, so too the EZ Swimmer™™ encourages the user to exert their muscles and move continuously through the water. Whether in the supine position or in the prone positions, whether swimming using the backstroke, breast stroke or the butterfly or simply stretching exercises, you are continuously moving and exerting energy.
Many people ask if the EZ Swimmer™ is the only piece of equipment they need for swimming. In many ways, the answer is yes. However, if your goal is to increase your stamina, have a healthy heart and/or burn calories, it is recommended to invest in a heart rate monitor. The marketplace today offers a variety of heart rate monitors. For swimming, the resistance level is recommended at 50 millimeters. Heart rate monitors are another example of our technology age, it is simply amazing the number of designs and functions. And best of all, most heart rate monitors today are water resistant, and serve double duty allowing the user to gauge their performance both on land and in the water.
It is important to remember, while many of us swim mainly for recreational purposes, swimming is a sport--a skill, meaning that your swimming technique is important!
Whether you are an experienced swimmer, or a beginner, EZ Swimmer™ wishes for you to take your exercise program to the next level and actively seek to improve your skill level by reading, studying or taking a refresher course on swimming.
