2XU Propel Buoyancy Shorts

Revolutionary Swim Training Tool for Triathletes & Open Water Swimmers

Transform your swim training with 2XU Propel Buoyancy Shorts – the superior alternative to pull buoys that lets you develop proper technique, natural kick mechanics, and race-ready body position without restriction.

Why Propel Beats Traditional Pull Buoys

• Natural Kicking Motion: Unlike pull buoys that lock your legs, Propel shorts allow full leg movement for realistic stroke development
• Unrestricted Rotation: Turn and rotate naturally through the water, maintaining proper body mechanics
• Wetsuit Simulation: Mimics the body position and buoyancy of a wetsuit swim for race-specific training
• Horizontal Body Position: Prevents sinky legs and maintains optimal swimming posture

Premium Neoprene Construction

• Strategic Thickness Design: 5mm front panels for maximum lift, 3mm back panels for flexibility and comfort
• SCS Hydrodynamic Coating: Super Composite Skin reduces surface drag for increased speed and efficiency
• Smooth Skin Neoprene: Premium laminated nylon neoprene delivers buoyancy without bulk
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand chlorine, salt water, and intensive training sessions

Engineered for Comfort & Performance

• Internal Stretch Liner: Low-absorption fabric ensures comfort and prevents water retention
• Adjustable Drawstring Waistband: Customize your fit for secure, distraction-free swimming
• Flexible Movement: Engineered stretch allows natural hip rotation and kick mechanics
• Unisex Design: Suitable for all swimmers and triathletes
