MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR NAME ON ALL YOUR GEAR!!
Purpose: 

Kickboards are an invaluable tool used for training and drill work.  During drill work, kickboards provide balance and high body position in the water allowing the swimmer to focus on form and technique. 

 

Although any style and brand of kickboard is acceptable, we recommend the V-shaped kickboard, Finis Alignment Kickboard,  for Gold and Silver swimmers. 

 

Size is not as important in a kickboard.  It may be easier for very young age group swimmers to use the Jr. board, but the standard adult size will work too. 

Examples of recommended kickboards:

• Finis Alignment Kickboard for Gold and Silver swimmers
