SWIM KICKBOARDS
SPEEDO / TYR KICKBOARD
Helping Olympians win gold and junior swimmers aspire to achieve gold... Refining the staid swim kickboard presented a great opportunity to advance this product category to a new level. The dedicated design thrust was focused on the user experience optimizing ergonomics as well as the swimmer’s position in relationship to the training board. This included gripping means for both two handed and one handed training expercises. These innovations led to patents, securing a global monopoly. To date this is the only product which the two Titans of Swim, Speedo and TYR have both licensed concurrently.
ERGONOMIC
Forearm stabilization grooves give the swimmer support where needed allowing them to focus on training without expending energy unnecessarily. Lower hydro dynamic base grooves further provide stability for better tracking. Moulded in palm and finger gripping features also help the swimmer control the board without undue energy expended, permitting focus on kick training, as intended.
DOUBLE DENSITY
Double Density swim kickboard. A new approach in kickboard design. Higher density stiffer material provides structure while softer EVA foam provides a comfortable and soft user interface. Lower cost material provides ample floatation, while a thin layer of comfortable EVA boosted the user value proposition significantly at very small additional cost.
PERFORMANCE
Arm stabilization grooves further support the swimmer’s training position so the focus can be directed to the training exercises. Ergonomic hand positioning also enhances the user experience.
