Different benefits of using water woggles

Float easily
 
Pool noodles can be used as flotation devices, especially if you are a novice swimmer. Simply hold onto the water woggle, let it support your weight, and you are good to go.
 
 
Increase resistance
If you want to swim faster, using water woggles is highly recommended. It can help you increase resistance by building your strength through resistance training. By holding onto the noodles, you will create more drag, which will help you swim faster.
 
 
Improve your technique
Using foam can significantly help you improve your technique. The resistance created by the noodles will help you correct your form and become a better swimmer.
 
 
Fun!
Swimming with pool noodles can be a lot of fun. They can add excitement to your swimming routine and make it more enjoyable. Simply playing around with the noodles can be a great way to have fun in the pool.
 
 
Safety
If you are swimming in a crowded area, then holding onto a pool noodle can help you stay afloat and avoid getting knocked around. 
 
 
Relaxation
Swimming with water woggles can also be a great way to relax and de-stress. The floatation properties of the noodles will help you relax in the water and forget about your troubles.
 
 
Use them for therapy
If you are recovering from an injury, using foam noodles can help you rehabilitate. The floatation of the noodles will help reduce the impact on your joints and muscles and help you recover.
