I tested others tables and I found this very good. The flotability is just enough to use for training kick with a proper streamline. I use it with the frontal snorkel to keep in the right position of swimming. The only thing that I like more other kind of tables is in turns, because is larger than some others tables but the flotability is better. I use this an other with less flotability in order to feel different sensation of the body position while I am training legs (and back in Fly).
I use this Kickboard both to improve my kicking, and as a tool to exercise and strengthen my hamstrings and quads. Its shape seems to give a better direction to my kicking.
Used as both a warm-up and cool down tool; this board provides more flexibility than the more conventional shaped boards. It is easy to manuever and due to its more rigid material, I use it for some resistance-type exercises. The only negative is that I have to carry it to and from the pool. All and all a great workout tool.
I absolutely love this kickboard. My shoulders don't hurt, it doesn't absorb the water. The design is perfect, comfortable and functional.
