Speedo Pull Kick pull buoy and kickboard black

The Speedo Pull Kick is a clever 2-in-1 swim training aid that combines the functions of a pull buoy and a kickboard in one tool. Grip it between your legs to isolate your arms, or hold it as a board for your kick: focused technique and strength training with a good deal less kit in your swim bag.

Speedo Pull Kick at a glance

• Pull buoy and kickboard in one: two widely used training aids combined into one compact piece.
• Isolate your upper body: gripped between your legs, it switches off your kick so you focus on arm and shoulder strength.
• Train your kick: held out in front of you as a board, it isolates your kicking action and leg technique.
• Better body position in the water: the buoyant support keeps your hips high for a streamlined position.
• Compact and light: takes up little space and fits in any swim bag.

Two functions, one tool

As a pull buoy, you grip the Pull Kick between your thighs. Your legs come to rest, so you can focus fully on your arm pull, your catch and your rotation. Turn it around and hold it out in front of you as a kickboard, and you isolate your kick instead and work on your kicking action. That way, one tool lets you train the two halves of your stroke separately.

Who is the Pull Kick for?

The Pull Kick suits swimmers from beginner to advanced who want to train with a focus on technique. Lap swimmers and triathletes use it to improve their body position in the water and to build targeted strength in their arms or legs. Because you can use it in two ways, it's a versatile starting point for anyone who takes their technique seriously.

Good to know

A pull buoy changes your position in the water: your hips sit higher than you're used to. Ease into it and build up your pull sets gradually. The tool is designed to train your stroke in parts, not to do your whole stroke all at once.
