Exactly what you think it is!

I would recommend using the ankle band with a pull buoy until you get used to having your feet completely drag.

This will make your pull stronger, a definite plus for triathletes, in saving your legs for the bike/run!

I was hoping for smaller to actually use around my ankles, but they do work for their intended purpose. I'm still getting used to them as I break from "pull bouy dependance". The help you in remembering bouancy and technique. I got these for my daughter who is swimming unattached right now and she loves it, but for myself, I'm seeing how the ankle band will make me stronger.

I use it about 2x a week and it works great during practice. It seems like it will last unlike the speedo ankle lock band that rips really easy.

This is a great tool to be used in addition to or independent from a pull buoy for training.  However, it will be too big for juniors or kids (had to wrap it around one foot twice for a smaller swimmer the other day).  Durable and sturdy.

Easy on/off. Not quite as comfortable as cushioned ankle lock, but does good job of keeping feet together.  Generally use with pull buoy.

I have been looking for something which can be used above the knees to keep them together when swimming breast stroke and butterfly. When I saw this and the price is very reasonable, so I ordered one and tried it on my son (10 years old) by putting it just above the knees it when doing the dry-land with stretchcordz for the frog kick. It works quite well in dry-land and I am sure that it will work well in the water. You can also use it when doing squarts, side steps in dry-land too and anything you can think of. More importantly, it is only $5.39 and more than just an ankle band for pulling!
