A pull buoy or leg float is a figure-eight shaped piece of closed-cell foam used in swim workouts.
Carbonero was a swim coach and created the pull buoy to add resistance in the water.
[3] Using the pull buoy gives the arms a more focused workout by providing flotational support for hips and legs.
Good body position and technique can be established and a bilateral breathing rhythm can be refined.
The pull buoy can be combined with a rubber ring to tie one's feet together, so there is no notion of kick.
