"We live in a rural area without easy access to swimming lessons, so we decided to teach our kids ourselves. These kickboards have been a huge asset in giving them confidence while learning. I bought three in different colors, and they all hold up well for my kids aged 8, 5, and 2!"

"I really like that this kickboard keeps me floating, which makes me feel safe. At 5'3 and 210 lbs, I've tried others, but this is the one that keeps me secure and above water!"

"I absolutely love Arena swimsuits! After joining a swim team four years ago, I faced issues with a competitor's kickboard that melted after six months. The Arena kickboard has been a game changer for us. It looks brand new despite the rough handling from the kids. The comfortable handles helped my daughters learn the proper grip quickly. I highly recommend this quality swim gear!"

"I wanted my own kickboard to avoid the crowded pool hassle. This one is the perfect size for me as a small adult at 5 feet tall. It's not only super buoyant, but also beautiful—something I didn't initially consider, but I'm glad it turned out this way!"

"I bought this kickboard for my 10-year-old son who has autism and low muscle tone. After struggling with swimming, he finally found success with this board. It provides just enough float assistance, allowing him to be independent in the water. Within just five days, he was swimming on his own and still uses it to prevent fatigue while swimming."

"Initially, I thought this board wouldn't float when my 5-year-old used it, but I learned it requires the user to fully extend their bodies. Once she figured it out, she learned to swim underwater in no time. The multiple handles are a fantastic feature for different body positions."

"I decided to give this board a try for my 6-year-old who already knows how to swim, and my 3-year-old who is just starting. It works wonderfully for both of them! Our oldest uses it to strengthen his legs, while our youngest is getting more comfortable in the water, all while having fun."

"I bought this for my friend's 3-year-old to learn swimming. The grips are perfect for both of us, allowing me to demonstrate and then letting the child try. It's buoyant enough for adults yet light for toddlers. High quality and durable; it even survived a fall down the stairs! I love the blue color and wish there were more options, but I can always add stickers. Highly recommend this product!"

"I ordered this kickboard for my kids aged 9, 7, 4, and 1.5. While it seems a bit small for my older kids, it's just the right size for my 4-year-old. The sturdy plastic and varied hand-hold options are fantastic, plus it’s lightweight. If I buy again, I’ll go for the adult size to accommodate my older kids better. I definitely recommend this product!"

"This kickboard is solidly constructed with different handholds for various practice styles. I'm so pleased with it that I'd buy another if this one wears out. It serves its purpose well!"

"This is my absolute favorite kickboard for swim practice! My team had these, and I loved it so much I had to get my own! It's so comfortable for long kicking sets!"

"I had some doubts about this kickboard, but it has been great. It's not a personal flotation device, but it helps keep me balanced while practicing my kicks. I do wish it came in a different color, but overall, it’s a sturdy board that does what I need!"

"I'm a bit disappointed because I hoped this board would help support my upper torso since I can't swim on my stomach. The size fits me well at 5'1" and 127 lbs, but I find it hard to keep in place while swimming. Despite that, I appreciate the durable material and hope to find a way to incorporate it into my exercises."

"I found the Junior Kickboard Buoy to be a fantastic swimming aid for my child. It really helped her build confidence in the water with its great buoyancy. I love how lightweight it is, making it easy for her to handle. The vibrant colors definitely kept her engaged and encouraged her to practice more!"

"For the price, this board is a great tool for helping kids learn to swim. I appreciate the different handle options and the side area for little fingers to grab onto. It's the perfect size for my 5-year-old, and I’ve even used it myself. It floats nicely, and if I had to, I would definitely purchase it again!"

"I bought this for my 18-month-old to assist with swim training, and he absolutely loved it! He felt very comfortable with his torso on the board while practicing his kicks. The blue camo color we chose is great, and it's sturdy enough to hold up adults too."
