Troubleshooting
Kickboard feels less buoyant than usual.
Ensure the kickboard is not waterlogged (though closed-cell foam resists this). Check for any cracks or significant damage. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can degrade foam over time.
Child finds it difficult to grip.
Ensure the child is holding the kickboard correctly, typically with hands on the sides or front edge. The ergonomic design should facilitate grip for most children in the recommended age range.
Material has become stiff or brittle.
This can occur due to prolonged exposure to UV rays or extreme temperatures. Store the kickboard properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
