Speedo Adult Pull Buoy

I've only used this once thus far, so I can't comment on its durability. However, this is very comfortable and works as it is intended. Definitely worth purchasing if you are trying to improve your swim. I'm training for triathlons, so this is great to use so that I can give my upper body more of a workout. In tri's you don't use your legs too much on the swim portion. However, don't become dependent on this swimming aid...this is just a great training tool.

I wish I had paid more attention to the design and less to the price. I'm donating this to our YMCA pool accessory bin. I don't like that one end is larger than the other. I don't need the extra buoyancy and much prefer the more even ones. For someone who struggles with buoyancy, it may be just fine but it's not for me.

I purchase it as I have to recover from a bursitis in my knee and, in order to keep swimming, I should not use my legs for a while as it put to much stress on my knees. So, I decided to give a shoot to the pull buoy. I found it is easy to use and it really works. It allows swimming using only the arms and it obviously give strength to the arms and shoulders, and reinforce the brace training.Previously, I saw several swimmers using it and saw they crossed their legs around it. So, I remember thinking that it may not be too good an idea as it may put a perpendicular force that will reduce the swimming speed and may be uncomfortable; I never thought in buying one. However, due to my bursitis I decided to try it. I found that there are no instructions or suggestions on how to use the buoy and, remembering my thought, I decided to hold the buoy in between my legs, not crossing my legs. It does work that way and I don't feel any pulling or discomfort in using it.By the way, the buoy has a thicker side and there is no indication from the factory on how to set it, to the front or to the back of the body. So, I tried it the two ways and it works putting the thicker side to the back of the body while swimming breast, crawl or butterfly styles; it will be up to the surface of the water. Change it to do a back stroke. So, it means that the bout thicker part should always be up towards the surface of the water.

This Speedo pull buoy is by far my favorite. I grew up using one of these, and then when I started swimming again in my free time, tried out a few other pull buoys and they either chaffed my legs (the harsh foams ones connected by string) or just felt funny, because they're not offset (Like the TYR buoys). Fair price and if you aren't unnecessarily harsh on it, it'll last for ever.

Like my review on the speedo kickboard. It is the right shape and floats... what more do you need? I actually bought this for an adult client of mine whom I was teaching to swim. Pull buoys are great for isolating arm motions and working on technique. I have a much manlier blue and white one of course :-)

Still prefer the larger pull bouys with the webbing. I have both types and this one is alright, but, just smaller and therefore a bit less bouency. Surprising how just a little less can affect your swim. I don 1 mile three times a week with the pull bouy.

i do not know how but whenever I use this product, I felt vibration on my legs.

Sadly after 4 uses , It started to have some scratches and lose materials ...
