Arena Kickboard Swimming Training Equipment for Lower Body Technique

DESCRIPTION:

Arena's new kickboard is a great swim training aid that allows you to isolate your legs for a workout in the water whilst immobilizing your arms. Holding this kickboard will cause you to have to work harder with your legs which will tone your lower body, and improve your ankle flexibility and your kick technique. The buoyancy of the kickboard also helps to improve your body position in the water, making it higher for a more effective swim stroke. This Arena kickboard comes in bright colours and has 2 handholds for comfort.

FEATURES:

• Improve balance and body position in the water - rest your arms on the board and press your armpits down to bring your hips up in the water - if you just hold the kickboard your head will be up, which makes your hips lower in the water creating drag. You should kick from your hips for a nice big powerful kick. Ankles should stay below the surface to create more leverage and forward motion.
• Practice your kick stroke - using a kickboard isolates your legs so that you can concentrate on your technique as you are not having to think about your arms. Some swimmers rely too much on their arms and drag their legs through the water. This will make you swim slowly and tire you out quickly.
• Improve leg strength - using a kickboard gives your legs an isolated workout and will build up lower body strength and endurance.
