A kickboard is a floating device used in swimming to help swimmers practice kicking techniques. It is typically made of lightweight foam and is held in front of the swimmer while they kick their legs to move through the water. Kickboards help improve leg strength, kicking form, and overall swimming technique. They are commonly used in swimming lessons and training sessions, allowing swimmers to focus on their lower body while keeping the upper body supported. Kickboards come in various shapes and sizes, often with handles for easier grip.
