Kiefer's Latest Kickboard
Kiefer Core Kickboard
Hey swimmers, have we got a new piece of
training gear for you! Kiefer is excited to add the
Kiefer Core Kickboard to our lineup of quality kickboards. Trust us - this board is different. And might I personally say,
better than anything else out there.
In fact, this training device is more than just a kickboard. It is a multi-functional tool to helping swimmers of all abilities improve themselves in and out of water.
A New Kickboard Design
I'm sure you've noticed that it doesn't look like most swimming
kickboards, and its form follows function. A wide base and different structural materials create optimal float and body position, while engaging core muscles on multiple levels.
Great For All Swimmers and Aquatics Programs
Experienced Swimmers
Experienced swimmers can use it as a standard board with benefits:
- Unique design minimizes pressure on upper back, lower back, and shoulders.
- When held vertically, it becomes a water plow for a more intense leg workout.
- Use molded hand grips and turn your body vertical holding the Core Board overhead for an added challenge to vertical kick sets.
Teams
Teams, this kickboard battles back against shoulder discomfort or pain. The
Kiefer Core Kickoard is specifically designed to be more user friendly than a standard board; plus, it has more uses. In addition to water plowing or vertical kicking, it's an excellent transition pad for quick pool exits to situps, pushups, and other deck exercises - without rubbing back, hands, or knees raw on rough or hot pool decks.
Fitness Swimmers / Aquatic Exercisers
Use the Core Kickboard for increasing arm and chest strength. Hold it vertically and submerge it halfway in the water. While standing on the bottom of the pool, use the Core Board to push water away from you. Too easy? Push the board deeper to find your ultimate resistance level. Too hard? Try sitting on the board and pulling yourself around the pool using a modified breaststroke or freestyle pull.
Facilities / Kids
Facilities, this board benefits you also! Besides being completely adaptable to the aforementioned swimmer types, this board is great fun for kids. The increased size and shape allows these boards to function as surfboards. By placing it under your feet or sitting on it, kids can practice balance or run silly races back and forth across the pool. Of course racers would lose points if they fall off the Core Board!
