To get the best results, you also need the best training tools. We asked one of Estonia's top female swimmers which swimming equipment she prefers to use in her workouts and what her favourite exercises are.

Margaret Markvardt represented Estonia at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games and the World Short Course Swimming Championships, where she was also equipped with Arena swimming equipment.

He uses Arena equipment extensively in his daily training sessions, and has developed favourites as a result.  
Margaret starts by highlighting Arena PowerFin Pro Swimsticks, which are very comfortable, high quality and beautiful to boot. According to Margaret, after trying the Arena PowerFin Pro, she couldn't swim with any other insoles.

Margaret recommends Arena PowerFin Pro swim long dolphin leg circles with the flippers, both prone and supine. These fins are also great for sprint training speed cuts.

Another training tool he won't go anywhere without is. Swim Pro breathing tube. Of all the tubes he has had, this is Margaret's favourite because it is very stable thanks to the fixed strap and does not move, for example, when turning. It's also very handy to take with you everywhere because it's small and light. In addition to the aforementioned, you can adjust the air flow rate because Swim Pro breathing tubel has two different airflow regulators that change the air intake, thereby intensifying the workout.

Margaret recommends Swim Pro with breathing tube do different technique exercises, and he also likes to swim long freestyle distances with a tube.


The third thing he likes to use is the multifunctional Pull Kick Pro, which can be used as a punch as well as a table. Margaret prefers to use it as a plait and likes the fact that it's quite small and easy to fit in her bag. The limited buoyancy of the training aid makes training more difficult and requires more effort to keep your feet on the water. This allows you to develop and control your body position.

Margaret recommends a multifunctional Pull Kick Pro-d combine Swim Pro with breathing tube and focus exercises on developing upper body strength and endurance.


Of course, Margaret does not neglect to mention the practical Arena home, which in addition to all the training equipment, can also accommodate everything else you need.
