TYRClassic Kickboard for Swim Training

This is the second kick board I've ordered recently. I didn't realize how small the first one was. This one is a little larger and seems to be able to give me some support. I hope to be able to give it a try soon!

I’m a bigger guy and I’ve used other boards that simply didn’t support me in the water. The TYR board is perfect. Both its size and buoyancy make it very comfortable to use. It’s lightweight and fits nicely in my swim gear bag. Doesn’t absorb water and is easy to clean when needed.

I love this kick board!! It is amazing if you are a swimmer, like me! It is also bunches of fun to just bring to the pool, as well! It is very sturdy and buoyant!! It has a very sleek look as well! Overall, I have nothing bad to say about this product; it is amazing!!

This kickboard is great! It fits perfectly in our mesh swim bag and has been very durable.

I was a competitive swimmer waaaaay back in high school.... you know.... before indoor plumbing. Back then our kickboards were made of a very rigid foam that could snap and break if mishandled. Which happened occasionally with a bunch of rowdy high school teens. This board is a more pliable foam.What I like: Size, thickness, density of the foam material, gripability, comfort on the forearms, and the 'Murica graphics. (Die-hard patriot here.) I go 200 pounds and the board buoys my arms and upper body just fine for it's intended purpose - leg work outs in the water. This is NOT a floatation device, nor is it a riding device. For the reviewers complaining about not buoying your body weight - get a paddle board, not a kick board.What I don't like: This is preference but it's a big preference to me - it's not rigid enough. This board will flex/bend on both an X and Y axis during use, especially when doing intense fin-kicking drills. I want my board to be solidly rigid. Zero bend. Zero flex. If I had my druthers, I'd laminate a 1/4' piece of plywood between an upper and a lower layer of the board's same foam just to maintain the board's comfort and gripability.Over all the board works fine for my pool workouts. We'll see how that flex hold's up over time as I am not a casual fitness swimmer. I will put it through its paces. I'll update after a few months of use.

After learning how to properly use a kickboard (hint: keep your hands together in the center and grip the front edge with your fingers, shoulders relaxed, keeping the kickboard just under the water). This works great for my kick drills and is basically indestructible. It is a little large and bulky taking up the majority of the room in my swim bag so while I will probably end up ordering the FINISAlignment Kickboard in the near future this one is the standard and will last a lifetime.

Great for collecting signatures!

I have purchased many kickboards for swimming. What I find different with the TYR brand is that the quality is very good and the durability for long swim periods is excellent. I sink with other kickboards after long periods of swimming. I especially like TYR brands and have purchased the mesh swim bag and hand paddles.Great brand.
