When I received the shipment, I was disappointed as all three kickboards were different sizes. when I placed the order, no where it tells that different colors kickboards are different sizes. Otherwise, I would have ordered kickboards in 'Blue' color. The yellow and Purple kickboards are too small for me and my wife.

This is a great training tool for anyone looking to get a good workout at the pool. the various handles on the board allow for a number of different ways to help with arm strengthening and/or back strengthening. It's lightwieght and easy to carry. Would be great for all ages.

I am a novice swimmer who was looking for a way to exercise my legs more while swimming. This kickboard serves that purpose well. I bought the blue version of the board.... I read that they come in different sizes. The board has a variety of different grips and works well. I would recommend this item!

I am very happy with the Spongex Champion Kickboards I bought. I have used them at both the lake and indoor pools. The handles are great as they give you a place to grab. I initially selected this model because of the center hole. It's a good place to attach a lanyard if you just want to tow it behind you for lake swimming.

I am a terrible swimmer, so I always had a hard time swimming for long enough to get a decent workout. This kickboard is perfect. I love the front and back handles.

I ordered 2 of these kickboards in blue after reading another review. They are not exactly the same size, but we really like them. They are very versatile and easy to use. I do think they need to put dimensions on the website.

I first discovered this kickboard when my family decided to stay at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle. I have never seen a design like this before. My 2 year old loved holding on the the board and would not let go. This unique design is better than any standard board.

I bought four of these kickboards. Like other reviewers, I found this kickboard to be a bit on the small side: measurements in the description would have been helpful. Still, they are lightweight, sturdy, and nicely shaped. The handle placement is great. The kickboards store easily and they are reasonably priced. While another inch or two in size would have been nice, I'd still purchase them again.

This is an excellent kickboard. I had to search everywhere to find the same one as my son's swim instructor. It really helps to teach the proper positioning for a beginner. The handles helped my son get a good tight grip on the board and I felt he was safe.

Because swimming lessons were not conducive to our schedule, I took it upon myself to teach my five-year old how to swim in our complex's pool. It immediately became clear that a kickboard would make swimming lessons much easier so after searching Amazon, I decided on this one. I was looking for a kickboard reminiscent of the ones that I learned to swim with as a child, hard plastic and good buoyancy. The Champion kickboard did not disappoint even though it was a little different than I expected (in a good way). Despite the photo, it's not hard plastic but more of a light foam construction. This is good for when my son tries to "surf" on it and it shoots upward out of the water towards his face or mine. Also, it makes for a buoyant kickboard. Now, that said, some kickboards are so buoyant that you can practically lay on them and stay above water like a life preserver. This kickboard isn't quite that buoyant. In our experience, my son had to keep kicking or his weight would force it below water allowing his face to be underwater as well, so it might be difficult for a child who hasn't quite mastered kicking yet. Something to consider. I do like that it has two places to hold on to depending on what you're trying to learn. Overall, I think this is a good buy and my son loves it. In fact, he always wants to take it to his "real" lessons at the indoor aquatic center this fall.
