HydroDrag: Adaptive Resistance for Elite Swimmers
PROJECT OVERVIEW
HydroDrag: Adaptive Resistance for Elite Swimmers
HydroDrag is a training device concept for professional swimmers, designed to create adjustable resistance while preserving comfort and mobility. The project uses generative design thinking to create a lightweight and durable performance product.
The Challenge
The product needed to add meaningful resistance during training without limiting natural swimming motion or creating unnecessary bulk.
The Solution
A compact, optimized structure was developed around adjustable resistance, ergonomic handling and a durable production-oriented form.
The Result
The final direction presents a practical performance training product that supports endurance and technique development for elite swimmers.
RESISTANCE
Adjustable training load concept
COMFORT
Mobility-focused product direction
DURABLE
Lightweight structure for repeated use
