3 Must-Try Positions for First-Time Dual Boards Users

When you're stepping into the pool with Dual Boards for the first time, the possibilities can feel endless. Whether you're just starting your swim journey or refining your technique, the right positions will help you get the most out of your training. Our Ultimate IHM Guide offers expert tips on how to make the most of your Dual Boards, but today we’ll introduce you to three must-try positions to kick off your training.

1. The “I” Position for Freestyle

Perfect for swimmers looking to enhance their side-breathing, the “I” position uses Dual Boards to provide buoyancy and balance. This position helps swimmers find a natural flow, making it easier to maintain form and control while working on breath control. It's the ideal starting point for beginners to feel confident in the water.

2. The “M” Position for Backstroke

Backstroke is all about balance, and the “M” position is key to mastering it. By pressing the Dual Boards downward, swimmers elevate their hips, chest, and abdomen to achieve proper alignment. This position not only helps with buoyancy but also improves spinal alignment, making it a great way to train efficiently while staying comfortable in the water.

3. The “H” Position for Breaststroke

Looking for better kick form and body positioning during your breaststroke? The “H” position focuses on core engagement and kick versatility. Dual Boards provide better balance and comfort compared to regular kickboards, allowing swimmers to truly focus on mastering their technique without the strain of too much buoyancy.

These positions are just a sneak peek into what’s possible with Dual Boards. If you're ready to take your swim training to the next level, there's so much more to explore! Download our full guide to unlock the secrets to mastering these positions and more.
