ARENA Pullkick Pro Swim Kickboard

Good quality

I was quite surprised to find how small this float is. If you're used to the more common hourglass shape buoy you'll find it really teeny, and I wasn't expecting to really work very well. And it's true, it's not as floaty as a traditional one, but it is really comfortable to use.The shape of this float means it fits nicely between your thighs, and stays in place. You won't be clenching your legs to keep your float in place with this one, and it doesn't create much drag. You even have enough movement to allow a small flutter kick when using this if you like.If you have very heavy legs you might find this buoy isn't enough to keep you flat in the water. For me, a 'normal' buoy is way to buoyant and makes me lazy, as I can just scull along without really considering body position. This one forces you to keep your head position correct and maintain a flat position - it doesn't do the work for you. If you usually have to work to keep your legs up with an hourglass float, then this one really won't be enough. For reference, I'm 170cm tall and about 72Kg.For me, it's just right. A traditional buoy is way to easy and I can swim all day with one of those, but this one forces you to think about position and swim 'properly' It's also nice and compact to fit in your swim bag.The material is fairly dense foam rather than the usual squidgy float material, and feels pretty robust. You could take chunks out with your fingernails if you really tried to, but for normal use it will last well.(If you found this review helpful, I'd love it if you let me know with a click below - thanks)

I love this pullbuoy/kickboard combo. The best part is it’s lightweight and surprisingly small. This is handy for me because I can keep it in my bag at work and use it when I swim afterwards. It’s a really great buy!

Thanks

- Ich nutzte den Keel zum Schwimmtraining. Schon ab Kauf stellte ich fest, dass die Auftriebskraft nicht sehr groß ist, aber zum Training reichte es so knapp. In den vergangenen Monaten stellte ich allerdings fest, dass die Auftriebskraft scheinbar nachlies, was eigtl. nicht möglich ist.Nun ja, jetzt kann ich es nur noch für meine kleine Tochter nehmen bis max. 10 Jahre Alter (daher zwei Sterne).Ich bin mir außerdem nicht sicher, ob ich ein Produktplagiat erworben habe. Das Keel wirkt nicht industriell gefertigt, sondern von Hand nachgearbeitet. Überall sind Schleifspuren, die assymetrisch sind => dies weist auf manuelle Bearbeitung hin (ich komme aus dem Bereich Fertigung). Vllt. erklärt dieser Umstand auch, warum die Produktqualität nachlies. Bei Rückfragen kann mich Arena gerne kontaktieren.

Ni como PullBuoy ni como tabla. Flota poco para ser tabla. Es incomodo para trabajar piernas pues hay que hacer esfuerzo con la espalda para mantener el tren superior a flote. Como pull buoy funciona mejor pero también le falta flotabilidad. Creo que a mi entrenadora tampoco le gusta mucho. A veces me lanza material del club al agua para que cambie.No ocupa casi espacio en el bolso y el matetial es muy suave.
