It is used to work on your upper body, and focus on your rotations and arms opposed to the entire swim. If you want to focus on your kick, use its opposite — a kickboard that will make your upper body more buoyant.

QuestionIs a pool buoy only used for the legs?Community AnswerPull buoys are actually used more for your upper body. They help the swimmer focus on his upper body and pull while the legs drag behind him. So essentially, pull buoys are not used for your legs at all. The only purpose is to keep your legs afloat.
