Advantages of using pull buoy
Proper body position
When swimmers use pull buoys, the feet are placed at the surface of the water or just slightly below it. Swimmers, especially those who are learning, can experience the correct body position in swimming.
Improve breathing control
Kicking in the water can raise a swimmer’s heart rate and breathing, leaving a lot of energy to focus on how and when to breathe. For long swims you can usepull buoy, with less kicking your endurance will be more for long swims. With fewer strokes, the swimmer can focus on creating a breathing pattern and breathing control, and after this step you can gradually add leg movements.
Focus on the arm and its movements
By using the pull buoy, a swimmer’s entire focus can be devoted to improving the speed and the way the arms are positioned. Focusing completely on the arms and back increases upper body strength.
