Itching to get your kick on? Loathsome to some, a savior to others. And of course, a lot of swimmers will pull from the flags into the walls when doing kick , negating large chunks of their kick work. The kickboard, like any other piece of swimming equipment, should be used for a purpose and used strategically in your swim training. While they vary in exact size Dolfin used to make a massive one that would reach from my fingertips to my sternum, sending me hydroplaning across the water , they all look like, well, tombstones. The tombstone kickboard is buoyant, and its large surface area gives you a high position in the water. Thickness and sturdiness are the two biggies with this kind of kickboard—a flimsy and thin kickboard means you have little buoyancy, with the board dipping below the surface of the water.
