A kickboard and kick pad in one—that’s the Speedo Elite Pullkick.
The board is made of a comfortable foam material that’s wonderfully lightweight and water-resistant.
I’ve tried using the Speedo Pullkick both as a kickboard and as a kick. As a kickboard, it provides excellent buoyancy, and the difference from a regular large kickboard is negligible. Its shape offers several different ways to hold it. I recommend gripping the board across its entire surface and resting your palms and wrists on it for proper weight distribution.
When using the board as a kickboard, I found it a bit bothersome how it pulls your legs up to the surface. This might be uncomfortable for competitive swimmers, but beginners and fitness swimmers who have trouble keeping their legs at the surface will definitely appreciate it. I recommend placing the board between your thighs farther away from your torso; otherwise, it will pull your butt up, causing you to arch your back. To keep the board from slipping out, you need to clamp it very tightly between your legs. However, this is just a minor drawback, which is offset by the fact that the board won’t rub against your thighs when you’re swimming with your arms, it fits beautifully in your backpack, and it’s truly perfect for kicking.
I’d recommend this kickboard to anyone who swims at multiple pools and wants to reduce the number of swimming aids they have to carry around.
The dimensions of the Speedo Elite Pullkick kickboard are 260 x 220 x 40 mm.
