What are the best Kickboards for adults?

When it comes to swimming, kicking is one of the most critical aspects. Kicking helps you stay afloat, improve body position, and stability. You may think you’re only working your legs but, it is a full-body movement.

Practicing with a Kickboard has many benefits to improve your swimming. The number one thing I work on with my swimmers is their kick. If you do not have a strong kick, you will not be able to hold up your body. Think of it as a motorboat, you will not move without the engine in the back.

The best Kickboards for Adults that I highly recommend are,

Sporti Momentum Premium Kickboard:

Sporti Momentum Premium Kickboard

This Premium board is an excellent way to help strengthen your kicking. It is made out of High-Quality Material, making it a long-lasting Kickboard made out of Dual foam that won't result in having to replace it for a long time.

It is incredibly buoyant, allowing you to feel comfortable and safe in the water.

This board offers two side handles that allow you to grip it in the water comfortably.

This Kickboard is designed to set you up in a comfortable streamline position to be able to glide through the water with an easy entry.

The Dimension of this board is, 12.5" Wide X 19" Length X 1.1" Depth.

You can purchase this Kickboard on Swimoutlet.com.

TYR Adult Kickboard:

TYR Adult Kickboard

The TYR Adult Kickboard is a great way to build leg strength. With its longer length, it is the perfect board for those who are taller.

This board is made with EVA foam making it extremely durable in the water.

It is a traditional Kickboard that is commonly used and recommended among swimmers.

The Dimension of this board is 20” Wide X 11.5” Length X 2” Depth.

This board is offered in Black and Pink.

You can purchase this Kickboard at Swimoutlet.com, Amazon, or any local sporting store.

Speedo Team Kickboard:


This Kickboard is a-little different than the others. The sides of this board are rigid, which allows for smooth and steady gripping.

White Kicking, If you prefer holding your board from the side, this one for you.

It is a straightforward board, textured with EVA foam for a non-stick surface.

This board is excellent for kicking drills as well as lap swimming.

This board is offered in colors Blue and Black.

It can be purchased on Amazon, SwimOutlet.com, or Speedo.com.

Arena Kickboard:

Arena Kickboard

This Board is different than some of the other boards. Its made with ethylene-vinyl acetate instead of EVA Foam like the others. Two handles located on top of each side of the Board, all for you have a steady grip and practice kicking with straight arms as if you were streamlining.

Due to its material, this Board makes it extremely comfortable while you’re working on your kicks.

I highly recommend using the grips located on this Board because it allows for different hand positions when training.

This Kickboard is very stylish by having over four different color options. (Green, Orange, Pink, Black).

I have used this Kickboard during my training, and highly recommend it when working on different training drills in the water due to the high-quality grip holes.

The size of the Kickboard is perfect for adults, especially since it is very buoyant and sturdy.

This Board can be purchased from Arena.com, Amazon, Swimoutlet.com, or even most sporting stores.

FINIS Alignment Kickboard:

FINIS Alignment Kickboard

Although looking at this Board for the first time, you might think it is smaller than most and looks a bit complicated.

No need to fear, this Board is used commonly among Olympians and many swimmers to help improve their kicking and set up their body for a great position in the water.

This Board allows for you to kick from your sides, with one hand, both hands, or even do a flip turn due to its hand strap located at the top of the Board.

With using this Board, you’re able to submerge it underwater and still have buoyancy.

This Board sets you up for a better body positioning than a regular Kickboard because you’re able to kick more naturally due to your hand positioning, and the weight of the Board is not slowing you down.

I highly recommend this Board if you are looking for a way to improve your positioning, alignment, and strength in the water. You’re more likely to be working on drills, techniques, and kicking on your side when using this type of Board.

It is offered in the color of Yellow and can be purchased from Amazon, Finisswim.com, or Swimoutlet.com.
