A nice training aid to help you develop kicking technique of crawl, breaststroke and backstroke. It's advisable not to employ kick board for training butterfly to avoid back injury.

It's rather a common practice here that the pools prepare kick boards for swimmers to use. So, just ask the lifeguard for one and return it after you've done with your workout.

Kick boards come in various shapes, so you may feel like preparing one for yourself. You may ask your friends or other swimmers who use different kind of kick boards for its pros and cons, and even borrow it to try out yourself before you decide which kind to buy.
