About this product
A pull buoy is a piece of shaped foam held between the thighs. It floats the legs, which means you cannot kick, which means every metre you cover comes from your arms. That single change does three things at once.
It builds upper-body strength, because pull sets load the arms, shoulders and back far harder than normal swimming. It exposes stroke faults, because without a kick to carry you, any weakness in your catch or your body position shows up immediately. And it teaches body position, because a floated leg shows you what a level body actually feels like.
Almost every structured swim session includes pull work for those reasons, and a pull buoy is the cheapest piece of equipment that genuinely changes how you swim.
Using one is simple: hold it between your upper thighs and squeeze gently, then swim front crawl without kicking at all. It will feel awkward for the first hundred metres, particularly if you rely on your kick more than you realise – which is the point.
The foam is dense and closed cell, so it does not waterlog. Rinse it after every session and keep it out of direct sun; chlorine and UV are what make foam go chalky and crumble.
