this has been out of stock for over 2 weeks

we have recently returned to using the alignment board. it does a better job of promoting alignment compared to traditional kickboards. great for all age swimmers. we have also begun kicking with parachutes to improve kick strength and foot speed. and incorporating kicking with board into swim sets to have swimmers refresh body position during the swim set.

We incoportated this kickboard in our training gear a few years ago and love the challenge it provides for our older swimmers on kick sets, yet it doesn't impinge the shoulders like regular kickboards.

I love how the board has helped my freestyle coaching.

I love this board. Great for beginners as well as national level swimmers. There are several things you can do with this board that you cannot do with a regular board

I have worked with other types of kickboards with each serving a purpose or reason. Is seeing other streamline boards, I always so an easy option for swimmers to cheat themselves. With the alignment kickboard, I have noticed less cheating and tighter streamlines. The strap really helps center swimmers and kick in the tightest of streamlines. I love using myself in training. I even followed the advice of a Finis representative and used two streamline boards while dolphin kicking. Not only did I feel that I was getting a great kick, I felt a stretch in my shoulders during my press that helped in my stroke. I truly believe this is a great board and an excellent value.

As a coach, this is my go to training tool for new swimmers. This kickboard is light enough to promote good body position and keep hips up on top of the water. It works great with one arm freestyle drills and teaching freestyle breathing.

Great for side balance and water feel drills.

The board is good, but my hands do not slip easily into the strap. It is quite difficult to fit a second hand into the strap and it looks like it compromises the integrity of the board from how much strain it puts on the back clasp. The board does not work as well when only one hand is strapped in.

Very good for drills, in particular where only one hand grasps the board. My favorite

As a competitive swimmer and a coach, this is the ONE piece of equipment I see no other option on ! The history of this simple board is legendary and shows ALL swimmer (every age) the effectiveness of a proper alignment powering your body forward as you kick. Kicking in NOT easy, we want the most bang for the buck here and a "tombstone" kick board is just that; a tombstone to the bottom of the pool. Essential every day at O2 SWIMMING and in my own swim bag. PS. Last a lifetime, so.... BOOM, you'll be happy, faster, and never go back. The end.
