Orca Pull Buoy

By providing high buoyancy to your legs, the pull buoy lifts your hips to the surface, which forces your body into a flatter, more streamlined position. This allows you to isolate your upper body and focus entirely on your arm stroke mechanics without needing to worry about your kick.

It is suitable for all levels. Beginners often find it helpful for getting a feel for the correct body alignment in the water, while advanced swimmers use it to build upper body endurance and refine their stroke efficiency.

The pull buoy is made from 100% EVA foam, which is durable, lightweight, and smooth against the skin. While it is designed to be comfortable, some swimmers prefer to wear it slightly higher or lower between their thighs to find the most ergonomic fit for their specific body shape.

While it is designed primarily for pool training sessions, you can certainly use it in open water. However, keep in mind that it is a training aid meant for stroke drills, so it is best used in controlled environments where you can focus on your technique.

The high buoyancy is intended to keep your lower body elevated, which actually helps you maintain balance by reducing drag. If you feel unstable, it is usually a sign that you need to engage your core slightly more to keep your body aligned.
