Pull Buoy (in Swimming Pools):
A pull buoy is a lightweight, foam float shaped like a figure-eight. Swimmers place it between their thighs or ankles to keep their legs afloat.
Uses:
Focus on Arm Strength: Keeps the legs still so swimmers can concentrate on building arm, shoulder, and upper body strength.
Improve Stroke Technique: Helps practice a better hand pull and body position without worrying about kicking.
Body Position Training: Teaches swimmers how to maintain a proper, streamlined position in the water.
Rehabilitation: Useful for injured swimmers who need to avoid using their legs during practice.
