The pull buoy is a great aid that is most often used for swimming without legs and to strengthen the upper part of the body (arms, shoulders, pectoral muscles) and to improve the stroke, technique. This pull buoy is made from light foam and it comes in three basic colour combinations, I chose blue.
Matuska Dena pull buoy is the most common pull buoy and you can see them in almost all swimming pools, due to its availability and lower price.
This pull buoy is symmetrical on both sides, while other pull buoys have one side wider than the other. The shape of this pull buoy is ideal for beginners.
You can swim all strokes with the Matuska Dena pull buoy, improve your technique and keep track of whether you glide on the water surface or just hardly moving forward. The pull buoy helped me the most in the crawl technique, I had time to focus on my high elbows, long arm stroke and proper head position.
Although I prefer swimming with a kickboard, I try to include the pull buoy in my training, for better endurance, technique and as a great aid that will diversify your training.
The biggest advantage of this pull buoy is affordability, but from my experience, I must say that after some time it starts to peel and mould but if you take good care of it and let it dry after your training it will serve you a long time.
You can place the pull buoy between your thighs, which is the most common and comfortable way to use it or you can place it between the ankles. If you don't have a kickboard but you want to swim with your legs only, you can use it as a kickboard as well. Swimming with your legs only with the pull buoy is harder than with a kickboard as the pull buoy’s surface is smaller and you need to focus on your balance.
There is a wide selection of pull buoys in various colours, brands and sizes on the market and I would recommend this one mostly for beginners and recreational swimmers.

Menstruation is a natural part of every woman's life, but it can pose some challenges, especially during the summer months and during water-related activities. Traditional menstrual products such as tampons and pads can be uncomfortable or impractical in these situations. In addition, tampons and other menstrual products that are inserted into the body may not be comfortable for all women, and for young girls, it may be difficult or even impossible to introduce them.
It's not surprising that winter could be long, dark and, unless you spend it somewhere in the mountains, unpleasant. Because of the shorter days and lack of sunshine, our bodies are subjected to unwanted stress and the spring season should be about rebooting the body and mind. Swimming is, therefore, an ideal way to support the natural detoxification process and improve the overall well-being of the body.
Swimming bands, or also expanders, are probably the most basic training aid for swimmers on dry land. They help not only to strengthen the stroke muscles, but also to improve technique. But do you know how to use them properly?
Do you want to improve, stay healthy, and avoid injuries and forced breaks? Proper recovery after swimming is key and should be a priority for everyone, whether a professional or a recreational athlete.
