kickboards

Pool leg trainers

Kickboards are buoyant foam boards used in swimming to support the upper body while isolating leg work: She grabbed a kickboard and practiced her flutter kick.

They're standard equipment in swim lessons and lap training.

The term also applies to the vertical board at the base of kitchen cabinets, though baseboard or toe kick is more common for that sense.
