Classic Pull Buoy

By placing the buoy between your legs, you immobilize your lower body, which forces you to rely entirely on your arm stroke for propulsion. This isolation allows you to focus on your hand entry, catch, and pull mechanics without worrying about your kick.

Yes, it is an excellent tool for beginners. It helps you maintain a horizontal body position in the water, which can be difficult to master when you are first learning to coordinate your stroke and breathing.

The 6-inch size provides significant buoyancy, which is ideal for keeping your hips high in the water. The EVA foam material is durable, lightweight, and resistant to water absorption, ensuring it maintains its shape and floatation over many training sessions.

Pull buoys are primarily designed for freestyle training. While they can be used for backstroke, they are generally not recommended for breaststroke or butterfly, as those strokes require a specific leg movement that the buoy would restrict.

It does both. Because the buoy removes the propulsion from your legs, your upper body has to work harder to move you through the water, which naturally increases resistance and helps build strength in your shoulders, back, and arms.
