Ankle Buoy, Swim Buoy for Upper Body & Core Strength

One of my favorites tools for swimming exercise! It makes me work my core and rotation in an exceptional way!

Good product works well

Used it for the first time today. Used it with Finis paddles for 5000 yards of freestyle pulling in outdoor 25 yard chlorine pool with air temperature 88 & water temperature 80. I'm 6'2" 260 & it worked well. Produces a little more drag than standard buoy but makes up for it by elevating feet higher than standard buoy. I'm doing open turns as I'm concerned that flip turns will put more stress on the weak point of this design which is the center seam. I was consciously squeezing my ankles together at the turns in order to put less stress on the buoy's seam. Even with doing this, I can feel the flexing at the seam and I'm seeing what looks like a tear starting. Someone else mentioned gluing theirs. I may try to find a cinch strap that I can wrap around the whole setup once I have it on my ankles. I think it will alleviate the flexing that is causing the motion allowing that seam to tear. If it weren't for this, 5 star product. Ideally if they made this out of one piece of foam cored out for the ankles,that would solve the issue.

Great for my son on the swim team

My son has a lot of backward head tilt which causes him to scissor kick to compensate. We do a lot of buoy work and thought we'd give this a try. It fits my 7yo sons ankles perfectly. I can't imagine an adult or even older child could use this. It works, but for someone like my son who's trying to break the habit of separating his legs, hi ankles just slip right out. If it had some kind of strap to hold the opening closed, it might be useful to us. We'll stick to the traditional thigh buoy. For a more advanced (albeit smaller) swimmer who can isolate upper/core properly without kicking, this might be useful, but i just dont see much advantage over a regular buoy, especially for the price. It is well made and seems like it would last a reasonable service lifetime

I'm bowlegged. Trying to use a regular swim buoy results in cramps and it still will regularly slip out. This one works great! My first one lasted 5 years and then wouldn't hold well so bought another.

Left deep bruises on my ankles.

I injured my knee and wanted something to limit the movement of my legs while recovering. Saw someone else using this product at the pool so I ordered it. It does the trick. Another benefit is that I use it as kickboard and it has helped me keep my knees together during flip turns. I am old and have not had any problems getting it on or keep it on. Works much better than the regular pull buoys for me.

Ich mag es nicht wenn ich beim Training mit der Pullbuoy diese ständig zwischen die Beine klemmen muss. Ausserdem kicke ich dann auch trotzdem noch. Alternativ könnte man die Pullbuoy mit den Knöcheln halten und mit einem Gummiband fixieren, was aber ziemlich umständlich ist. Mit der Finis Anklebuoy ist das wesentlich einfacher, man steckt sie einfach an die Fußknöchel. Das ganze hält ganz gut, manchmal verliere ich sie bei den Wenden. Angeblich soll man damit die Körperspannung besser trainieren, das konnte ich bisher noch nicht feststellen, aber bei mir sinken die Beine auch nicht so stark ab.

Posso dire che è un pò ingombrante, però io ho le gambe magre e un pò arcuate per cui ho difficoltà ad usare i normali pull buoy, li devo mettere fra le cosce e li perdo spesso. Questo invece si mette alle caviglie e non si muove di un centimetro, si può virare con tranquillità e non lo perdi , può essere usato anche come tavoletta. Ottimo

This is a fabulous aid to add variety to your swim. This is my second ankle buoy from Finis - the previous one lasted over 2 years. I use it most days, for 1/3rd of my swim. Really great to work your abs, creating core strength. Terrific for lower back strengthening. Feels a bit unusual at first, but becomes the new 'best buoy' very quickly. Advice: start with 100m freestyle, increasing each swim session. Stick with it.

Buen auxiliar para mantener la horizontal y las piernas a nivel mientras practico la brazada exclusivamente

これをつけて練習するようになって、タイムが上がってきたようです。 高かったけど、価値ある商品でした
