This is the second one of these I've bought - one for myself this one for my sister who was wanting to improve her swimming technique. Speedo what can you say about them other than their kit is fantastic, however what else do you expect from the leading swimming brand.The pullbuoy is comfortable and light and can be used either between your ankles or between your thighs stopping you from kicking but still keeping you buoyant and helping you concentrate on your arms alone.Recommend to someone wanting to improve their stroke technique or concentrate just on arms.

This is great if like me you are not a trained or natural swimmer it helps keep your legs straight, I have slim legs but muscle no fat so I find my legs sink, and pull bouy makes swimming easier and more enjoyable you don't really need to kick so concentrate on stroke and breathing really helped me I have gone from 25 metres being out of breath to swimming over 600 metres fairly easily. It was worth the money for me 100%

Although I am in no way a professional swimmer, I do swim regularly and was looking for a floatation device which would allow me to work on strengthening my upper body or lower body as needed. This pullbuoy is great for that, as when placed between the legs it offers enough floatation and balance so that I can focus on the movement in my arms and perfect the strokes. It also works when held horizontally by the arms to strengthen leg movement.The device offers the perfect amount of floatation for me although the amount of support it gives can be changed dependent on which way it is held between the legs; positioning the larger part towards the bottom of the pool with the smaller end between the legs offers more buoyancy. It also, surprisingly, is not uncomfortable. I am quite small and the material is pretty firm but after a lap or too, the pullbuoy doesn't feel out of place.In summary, this is a great tool for if you want to perfect your swimming technique, for strength training or if you just feel like having additional buoyancy and support when swimming.

Really useful for improving my stroke.I stopped swimming for about five years, and when I got back into it after joining the gym, I realised it was harder than I remember it being, I was struggling with my breathing seeming to only be breathing on my right side rather than alternating and my rotation when breathing was too much. after using this almost exclusively when swimming for the past month it seems to have really sorted out my technique.THe only problem is that sometimes when not using this I forget to use my legs!My technique still isn't as good as it used to be but its a damn sight better, I'm better at alternate breathing, my body is longer when I swim and my stroke is more powerful. Excellent product for beginners and more competent swimmers alike.

4 stars for this speedo product - purely because of the cost - otherwise its a good training aid. It's well made and has a good ergonomic profile allowing the pull buoy to nestle comfortably between the upper legs. It allows you to isolate the legs but maintain buoyancy, so that you can concentrate on the upper body for front crawl. You can use the float either way round (big end facing the bottom of the pool to increase buoyancy or the little end facing the bottom of the pool to decrease it). I found the difference not to be that great and its more a personal preference which way round its used. No instructions with this training aid - but then again - you don't need them.

I play water polo at county level and also regularly compete in lane swimming events and races, so swimming technique and strength is important to me.This pullbouy is brilliant for building upper body strength and technique for front crawl or back stroke.I've noticed some pullbouys give too much buoyancy so it actually becomes too easy, but this one is weaker so it is ever so slightly harder to keep afloat, perfect for training.As other people have mentioned, you can also swap which way around it goes, for example if you want slightly more buoyancy you can put the larger end at the bottom towards the water.All in all, its a great tool for improving technique and strength, both for people learning how to swim, for those who want to improve technique or those who want to train for body conditioning.
