Igor Parshin
swimming coach and inventor
Igor Parshin is a swimming coach and inventor with over 40 years of experience in competitive sport. Drawing on decades of hands-on coaching, I designed the Glider — a modular training paddle system whose every component has been developed and proven in my own training practice.
My mission is to give swimmers, triathletes, and coaches a precision instrument for refining stroke technique: a tool that builds feel for the water, strengthens the muscles and joints of the hand, and raises technical skill and conditioning at the same time.
Igor have worked as a national team swimming coach — for the USSR, the Kazakh SSR, and the national team of China — and I hold the title of Master of Sport of International Class (MSMK) of the USSR in swimming. Today I am channeling that accumulated practical experience into a line of new swimming training equipment: products that help coach and athlete alike solve the real problems of athletic preparation.
The Glider line is the foundation of a growing family of SwimForce training products, including the world's first paddle-integrated electronic module for real-time measurement of stroke power and movement quality.
The GLIDER model is a genuinely new, high-quality training instrument, developed specifically for swimmers of every level who are working to refine their technique and want to improve the quality of their movements in the water.
