Kickboard swimming board Speedo KICK BOARD AU – buoyant foam kickboard for swim training

Speedo KICK BOARD AU is a buoyant foam kickboard designed for swim training and leg-strength drills. Made from lightweight, closed-cell foam, the kickboard offers steady flotation to support drills focused on kicking technique, body alignment and endurance during pool sessions. The board’s compact shape and smooth edges allow easy handling for swimmers and coaches during swim school lessons, lap training and targeted technique work.

Advantages

The kickboard provides reliable buoyancy while remaining lightweight and easy to manoeuvre in the water. Its foam construction resists water absorption and maintains shape over repeated use. The compact profile aids in maintaining streamlined body position during kicking sets and helps reduce shoulder strain by allowing swimmers to focus on lower-body movement. The neutral design suits a wide range of ages and skill levels.

Suitable for

• Kick sets and leg-strength drills in lap swimming
• Swim school lessons and beginner flotation practice
• Technique-focused sessions to improve body position and kick efficiency
• Warm-up and cooldown routines during training

Key specifications

• Material: buoyant closed-cell foam for low water absorption
• Construction: single-piece moulded foam with smooth edges for comfortable grip
• Size and shape: compact rectangular/contoured profile suitable for adults and juniors
• Weight: lightweight for easy handling and transport
• Durability: resilient foam that retains buoyancy and shape with normal pool use

How to use

Hold the Speedo kickboard with both hands at the top edge or extend it in front of the chest depending on the drill. Use the board to isolate leg action by supporting upper body flotation while focusing on consistent, rhythmic kicking. For vertical kick drills, hold the board in front of the torso or under the arms to maintain balance. Rinse the board with fresh water after each session and store it away from direct sunlight to prolong material life.

Usage recommendations

Choose a kickboard size and grip position that matches swimmer height and the training objective. Combine kickboard work with breathing drills and body alignment exercises to improve overall kick efficiency. Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine and sunlight when not in use; check the board regularly for surface wear and replace if foam integrity is compromised.
