The Benefits of the Alignment Kickboard

The Alignment Kickboard is a sought-after training aid that is perfect for all levels of swimmer. Not only does it enable users to focus primarily on their legs, but it also helps them work on their core stability and body alignment in the process.

Unlike a traditional foam kickboard, the Alignment Board is strapped to one hand, making it easier to complete flip turns and practice drills with the available arm. The hydrodynamic face of the board sits lower in the water than the foam kickboard, reducing strain on the neck and shoulders while also maintaining critical body alignment.

When coupled with the Swimmer’s Snorkel, the Alignment Board becomes an excellent tool for novice swimmers, as removing the need to breathe allows users to focus entirely on their leg speed and core strength. More experienced swimmers can still choose to do without, simply taking a single arm stroke and turning their head to breathe.
