The primary purpose of a swimming kickboard is to provide extra buoyancy. It helps swimmers practice their kicking technique while supporting their upper body, allowing them to focus on leg strength and improve their overall swimming skills. While it can also create some resistance in the water, its main function is to aid in buoyancy and technique improvement.
