The woggle, or noodle as they are sometimes known, is an item of swimming equipment in the form of a polythene foam cylinder approximately 3 inches in diameter and 58 inches long.



The main advantage is that it provides a high level of support whilst as the same time allowing the swimmer movement of their arms and legs. The swimmer is able to learn and experience propulsion through the water from both the arms and the legs.

The woggle is very versatile and as it is not a fixed aid, it can be used and removed with ease. It can also add a sense of fun to swimming as it can be tucked under the arms on the front and the back as well as placed between the legs and used as a ‘sea horse’.

Limited use for advanced swimmers

Nervous swimmers can ‘clamp’ it between their body and their arms, restricting their arm action.
