Made in America, the mini Pull Buoy is compact, lightweight and features the more traditional double cylinder design. Made from EPE foam, these are durable and comfortable.
The Benefits of Training with a Pull Buoy
When used properly and with intent, grabbing and using your very best pull buoy can be a very powerful tool for better swimming and for getting the most of your swim practices.
It can be easy to make the case for its use based on the following arguments:
1. Teaches you proper body position.
2. Pull buoys isolate the upper body.
3. It is less taxing than swimming.
4. A pull buoy can help you focus on better technique.
5. Work on arm mechanics independent of your legs.
6. It is helpful with breath control work (and even improving your walls).
7. Combined with paddles and a band can be a heckuva workout for your arms.
8. Good for improving feel for the water.
