Pull Buoy Swim Training Leg Float for Adults & Youth | Swimming Pool Strokes & Upper-Body Strength EVA & BPA Free

I do not use this product as illustrated. Rather, I bend my legs and hold it between my legs and pull the water with my arms. I keep my core tight while pulling and do 50 laps everyday in my 35 foot pool which has a deep end. I also do a bunch of exercises while gently holding this in my hands while in the deep end. It keeps me buoyant and frees up my legs to do scissors, etc. There are SO MANY things you can do with this little floatie! I bought a second one for my son and a third one tonight for my husband. I get a heck of a workout in the pool with this! Can't say enough about it. Going to bring this to my water aerobics class and encourage the instructor to use these for her classes.

Purchased the buoy mainly to use with a swim harness (for small pools),, a must if your doing this kind of swimming.

This was great for making certain that I used my upper body instead of whole and it helped me increase my heart rate a great deal!

Excellent balance when swimming , I use it to help swim professionally almost

I have lower back problems so swimming is my favorite exercise. I thought I’d try to add this into my routine but it puts a bit too much pressure on my lower back. No fault on the product but it may not work out for me.

How could a pull buoy be exceptional ? (And who would ever think about writing a review for a swimmer's pull buoy! - aren't they all the same ?) The answer is the buoy's somewhat pebbly texture on the outside. It keeps the buoy in place - no slipping ! I have been swimming for a long time with a Masters' swim program. We have many buoy makes available to us, and they are essentially the same as one another. I bought this solely because of its color-lime green. I wanted my own, and distinctive from the others on deck to avoid mix-up. The company is unknown to me, and others. (Remember the larger end is oriented down and goes on the knee-side when swimming freestyle).

Helps with strength building. This is the second one I have bought

Bought in mind for my son who uses it for swim training. Works great. He struggles not moving his knees when he issues other models. Not with this one.
