A kickboard has a non-planar shape and comprises a primary panel with opposite support members laterally outside from the primary panel with a transitional section therebetween. The support members are at a rear longitudinal position and additional support shoulders may extend from a forward end of the primary panel along each lateral side to a respective support member. The rearward end defines an opening with a cavity formed between the primary panel, transitional sections, support shoulders and support members. In use, the kickboard provides substantially improved ergonomics and allows a swimmer to support her elbows on the support members with a portion of her forearms on the support shoulders, with arms in a bent position below the surface of the water. The configuration improves comfort while maintaining a favorable hydrodynamic swimming position and reducing shoulder stress.
