pull buoy

Pull buoys are made from EVA foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). Pool rope and float kits use braided nylon rope, ABS plastic buoys, and aluminum hooks.

Foam pull buoys in the available results are lightweight, weighing about 0.19 to 0.31 pounds each.

Pull buoys keep the legs afloat or immobilize them so swimmers can focus on arm strokes. They help build upper-body strength, improve stroke symmetry, and allow better focus on proper hip rotation and overall technique.

Rinse or wipe pull buoys after use and allow them to air-dry. One set of care instructions notes rinsing in cool, non‑chlorinated water, placing the buoy on a towel to air dry, and avoiding extended direct sunlight.

A hybrid pull buoy/kickboard combines elements of both tools: a tapered front for smoother gliding, a contoured channel to fit between the legs, a front grip for hand holds, ergonomic cuts for a secure fit, and dual functionality for both kicking and upper‑body pull work.

Some pull buoys are offered in adult and junior sizes. The junior size is noted as ideal for swimmers with smaller legs and for swimmers under the age of 12.

Pull buoys lift and immobilize the legs to help align the body from head to toe, making it easier to maintain a streamlined position. By stabilizing the lower body, they let swimmers focus on correct hip rotation and arm technique.

The kit lists a premium braided nylon rope, ABS plastic bi‑tone buoys, and aluminum hooks described as rust‑resistant.
