ONCORE® is more than a training aid, it’s a skill acquisition tool that activates and strengthens your shoulder stabilisers and core muscles in the water. And, it’s being used in pools all over the world!
​
Used by swim schools, squad swimmers, clubs, high performance athletes, school swimming, triathletes, recreational swimmers, fitness classes, water therapy sessions and home use, ONCORE® is beneficial to all ages and abilities.
​
Through a wide range of drills, ONCORE® engages the entire kinetic chain from the catch of the stroke, through the shoulder, and across the torso to the opposite hip.
​
This allows the user to easily activate and strengthen important muscle cross-connections – independently – required for fast and efficient swimming.
​
It promotes an improved body position and correct muscle patterns in teaching the most ideal use of these important muscle groups in the water and specifically, in swimming.

OUR STORY
​
The ONCORE Academy is an initiative built on a solid foundation of passion, knowledge and lived experience, dedicated to the development of individuals, groups and organisations.

​
The ONCORE Academy is committed to providing education through collaboration in order to enhance performance which is achieved through improving in the water as well as self-development on land.
​
Its mission...To build individuals that are not only stronger, more efficient, and faster, but are CONNECTED with the water. On land we strive to empower individuals to be proactive in managing their wellness in order to thrive, not survive.
HOW IT WORKS
​
Through a wide range of drills, ONCORE engages key muscles from the catch of the stroke, through the shoulder and across the torso to the opposite hip. This allows the user the activate and strengthen important muscle cross-connections required for fast and efficient swimming.
WHY IT WORKS
​Strengthen each connection (arm) independent of the other, eliminating the lazy factor and highlighting any weaknesses or imbalances in the body.
​​​
Low density foam - lightweight with a slight texture that stimulates the neuroreceptors to enhance muscle engagement.
​
Shaped to the hand for pressure to be applied evenly across the natural paddle (hand), replicating the way it's used when swimming.
​​
Surface area to thickness ratio and appropriate buoyant force creates consistent resistance specific to the hand to engage the catch and associated muscle connections, engaging the entire kinetic chain.
​​
Teach fundamental skills in a fun and challenging way with experiential learning and ONCORE's 4 F's - feel, fail, figure (it out) and fix it.

“Developing functional core strength has always been a crucial part of my coaching philosophy. Using ONCORE will make you a better connected, more efficient and therefore faster swimmer!”

“I love using ONCORE and had Jade come out to my program. We use them 3 times during the week for balance and head/body position improvements, as well as sculling. I have seen some great improvements!”

“ONCORE is an intricate part of our learn to swim programs. ONCORE encourages a much better body position in the water than a kick board and it also teaches body balance. The swimmer uses their core and legs more efficiently leading to better technique”
