Kickboard manufacturer · OEM swim training gear factory since 1993
Standard, contoured, junior, and pull-buoy boards cut from closed-cell EVA or PE foam in our Guangzhou facility. Pantone-matched colors, heat-transfer or silk-screen logos, and die-cut shapes from 500 peças por cor. Samples in 7-15 dias, stock SKUs ship within 72 horas.
A flat rectangle does not teach a 6-year-old to kick, and a contoured board frustrates a drill-focused adult. We cut four distinct form factors from the same closed-cell EVA stock, so your program covers every skill level under one PO, um padrão de CQ, and one consolidated shipment.
The classic rectangular board with rounded leading edge and dual hand-grip slots. Cut from 60-80 kg/m³ closed-cell EVA at 420 × 290 × 30 mm for adults. The default for clubs, schools, and branded retail: flat enough for drill work, buoyant enough for learn-to-swim, and the most cost-effective shape to produce at volume. Shrink-wrap or polybag packed.
Tapered profile with a raised hand rest that reduces shoulder strain during extended kick sets. The hydrodynamic leading edge cuts drag, making it the choice for competitive squads and technique-focused programs. Same closed-cell EVA core with a smoother skin finish for a premium shelf look.
Figure-eight pull buoys, soft fly discs, and aqua dumbbells cut from the same EVA stock. Lets you bundle a complete training kit under one PO: kickboard plus pull buoy plus flotation disc, consolidated carton, single inspection. Ideal for swim brands building a full accessories wall.

Swim shops need adult training boards. Swim schools need junior floats in bright colors. Aqua fitness programs need belts and discs. We produce all three under one roof with the same foam QC, so you consolidate purchasing, simplify logistics, and hold your supplier to a single standard.
Full-size boards for clubs, competitive programs, and branded retail. Available in standard and contoured shapes with your logo heat-transferred or silk-screened. Pantone-matched body colors, shrink-wrap or printed polybag, and FBA-ready carton options. The line your adult swimmers reorder every season.
Reduced dimensions and lighter foam density (45-55 kg/m³) sized for children aged 4-12. Bright Pantone colors, cartoon heat-transfer artwork, and rounded edges for small hands. The summer sell-through staple for swim schools and kids retail chains.
Polyethylene foam at 30-60 kg/m³ delivers adequate buoyancy at the sharpest unit cost. The right choice for high-volume school programs, promotional giveaways, and markets where price drives the purchasing decision over premium hand feel.
EVA foam waist belts and floating discs for learn-to-swim programs. Adjustable strap, multiple float segments, and the same Pantone color matching as the board range. Bundle belts with kickboards under one PO for a complete swim-school kit: one supplier, one inspection, one container.
A kickboard lives in chlorinated water, gets dropped on concrete pool decks, and sits in UV-exposed storage racks. Open-cell foam absorbs water, gains weight, and breeds bacteria within a season. Every Vanguard board uses closed-cell EVA or PE foam with a sealed skin, so buoyancy stays constant from day one to year three.
Our EVA foam is expanded under controlled temperature and pressure to produce a uniform closed-cell matrix at 45-80 kg/m³. The sealed outer skin prevents water ingress, so the board never gains weight or harbors mold. Foam batches are density-tested before cutting, and finished boards pass a 24-hour immersion test for water absorption below 3% by volume.

Private label kickboard wholesale
Kickboards are a replenishment category: swim schools burn through them every season, and retail buyers punish suppliers who miss the spring window. Foam expansion, die-cutting, decoration, e embalagens, tudo acontece dentro dos nossos 27.824 m² Instalação de Guangzhou, então nada no seu programa espera por um subcontratado.
Send us a vector outline or a sketch. We CNC-cut a steel die to your profile and produce a foam sample within 7-15 dias. Standard shapes (retângulo, contoured, figure-eight) use existing dies at no tooling cost.
Foam pigment is mixed at the expansion stage, so color runs through the full board thickness and never chips or peels. Color recipes are archived per client, and reorder batches match the approved chip within Delta E < 2.
Heat transfer for full CMYK artwork, gradients, and mascots. Silk-screen for 1-4 spot colors at the lowest per-unit cost. Both methods bond to the sealed foam skin and survive pool-chemical exposure without cracking.
Shrink-wrap, printed polybags, header cards, e caixas prontas para FBA com rotulagem rastreável em lote. Consolidate boards with custom swim goggles e snorkel sets under one PO. See program structure on our página de fabricação personalizada.
