Made from EVA foam, kickboards are another popular training device.
Like floats, they allow the swimmer to develop his or her kicking action.
Some young swimmers tend to have much stronger arms, and kickboards give the swimming coach the chance to work on the kicking technique, which can often be uncoordinated.
They are also used by elite swimmers to fine-tune their kicking, and to strengthen their legs and ankles.
