FINIS Alignment Kickboard - Hydrodynamic - For Fitness & Swim Training - Promotes Streamlined Body Position - Reduced Shoulder Stress

Great! Works as described:)

No soy una experta en natación, tan solo una aficionada, pero esta tabla me gusta mucho más que las demás. Te frena menos a la hora de practicar patadas de crol, ya que se lleva justo por debajo de la superficie, te hace nadar más estirado y ocupa menos espacio. A mí me ha gustado mucho.

Bin rund um zufrieden! Gestern bestellt und heute schon im Einsatz gehabt :) Der Auftrieb ist wirklich genau richtig für Supermann Übungen. Mit einem normalen Kickboard hatte ich immer Probleme mit dem Arm der im Wasser liegt, verkrampft und Verspannung hinter her. Das Kickboard ist wirklich genial! Als Paddel kann es meiner Meinung nach nicht funktionieren, aber dafür brauche ich es auch nicht. Auch geeignet zum Ablegen beider Arme für Beinübungen, trainiert die Wasserlage um einiges besser als mit einem normalen Kickboard. Allerdings möchte ich das normale auch nicht missen, da man dabei die Arme und den Rumpf mal entlasten kann und weniger Spannung benötigt. Kann das Kickboard nur empfehlen und bin total happy über den Kauf :))

I bought Canadian Olympian Brent Hanson's freestyle mastery online course because I was intrigued by the different drills the USA Swim Coach was doing w/his team. I asked him about it & he referred me to Brent Hansen's website. The coach explained he was teaching all his age group swimmers Brent's drills, so they don't use the high elbow recovery technique bc it causes shoulder impingement. Also, how Brent's rotation drills are whole body (head/shoulders/hips), instead of just shoulders & hips. Brent highly recommends the Finis Alignment Kickboard. I teach a LOT of swim lessons weekly (17 yrs teaching), mostly to children, 3-11, with a few adults. I find it's a little harder for the littles to use this board (it's very buoyant), but my older students & adults like it. I love that it has grooves underneath for your thumbs, so you can be prone on your stomach, & hold it out in front of you, holding the edge closest to you, or, on your back, with the board on the top of your thighs. Brent also uses it 1-handed, where you put 1 hand under the strap & pull with your other arm, keeping the arm on the board straight. I like that it's not just regular foam, so it doesn't get dinged up easily. It could be punctured by something sharp, or if a child were to bite it. I only use it with kids under my supervision (I teach privates) & don't let them play with it. I believe it's an effective tool. Adults & older children may have the strength to use their core & keep it under the water a few inches when they're on their front or side, the way I would do with a normal kickboard. Love the bright color! I use several of the Finis training aids in my teaching = alignment paddles, swimmers snorkel, the giant foam float with holes (aka "The Big Cheese"), the tick tock hip rotation belt, & the posture trainer head alignment tool. They make quality, innovative products that last. I always wash them off with soap & water after every use.

Cumplió con todas las expectativas de todo lo que ofrece el producto: hidro-dinámico, mantiene la postura del cuerpo, reduce la presión en los hombros que provocan las tablas convencionales, la manija ayuda a mantener la estabilidad sin necesidad de agarrar por los lados. Muy buena para los entrenamientos de patada en cualquier estilo.
