Do you want to improve your leg technique, leg strength and endurance? Then a swimming board is ideal. Whether you are a novice swimmer or already experienced and aim for the best performance, the right kickboard will ensure that you will soon break your personal records. Discover how these simple yet highly effective swimming boards can take your swimming training to the next level.
A swimming board, also called a kickboard, is a tool used to improve your swimming technique and strengthen your leg muscles. This floating board, often made of lightweight foam, helps you as a swimmer to keep the focus on your legs and thus improve your leg strength without having to take your upper body / arms into account. By sticking to the swimming plan, you as a swimmer can concentrate on correct execution of your leg strokes and technique. A kickboard is suitable for both novice and experienced swimmers, and you can also train your endurance with it.
If you notice that your kick technique is not yet optimal and/or you want to improve your leg strength, then a swimming board is ideal. By holding the swimming board with both hands and keeping your body horizontal in the water, you can fully focus on your leg strokes without having to take your arm strokes into account. By focusing entirely on your legs, you train a more powerful and efficient kick, which will increase your speed and endurance. This will allow you to achieve even faster competition times.
Using a swimming board brings you several benefits, such as:
Our swimming boards are available from different brands, each brand has its own unique characteristics. Arena, a renowned brand in swimming sports, offers you kickboards known for their durability and ergonomic design. BTTLNS, a real triathlon and swimmer brand, focuses on innovative designs and offers you as a swimmer very good support for optimal kick technique. We also have Finis, this brand is known for their technical approach and makes swimming boards that are specially designed to improve your technique and strength. Orca, this brand, just like BTTLNS, is a well-known brand in the triathlon world and offers you swimming boards that are suitable for both pool and open water training, with the emphasis on your performance. Finally, we also have swimming boards from Sailfish, these boards are popular with triathletes because of their lightweight and hydrodynamic design, which contributes to an extra efficient training.
Do you want to train swimming stroke and arm strength instead of your legs? Then you can go for a so-called pull buoy. By clamping the pull buoy between your legs you ensure that you can keep your legs relatively still, allowing you to fully focus on training your arms. This helps you strengthen your upper body muscles, such as your shoulders, back and arms.
