About this product
Most swimmers kick badly and do not know it, because the arms hide the problem. A kickboard removes them from the equation: arms out in front on the board, and everything that happens is down to your legs.
The first hundred metres are usually a shock. A kick that felt strong turns out to move you very slowly, and that is the useful information. Kick sets are how it improves – and kick strength matters more in open water and rough conditions than in a calm pool lane.
The square shape gives stability. A narrow or contoured board is faster through the water but rolls more, and for training – where you want to isolate the legs rather than go fast – the stable shape is the right one.
The technique that matters: kick from the hip, not the knee, keep the legs long and the kick small and fast, and keep the toes pointed. A big bent-knee kick moves a great deal of water and very little swimmer.
The foam is dense and closed cell, so it does not waterlog. Rinse it after every session and keep it out of the sun – chlorine and UV together are what make foam go chalky and crumble.
