We carry both the Hand & Finger paddles. Finger paddles are designed to improve hand entry and catch. Hand paddles help swimmers develop upper body strength as they work the muscles in the back, chest, arms, and shoulders.
It is important to know what size is best for you. A general rule to follow is that paddles should not be anymore than 10% bigger than your hand. All our paddles have measurements in the product images. If you are using a paddle that is too big, you are potentially inviting improper technique and overloading your shoulder muscles which can lead to injuries. That being said, the size of the paddle should also be dictacted by your experience as a swimmer. If you are a younger swimmer, we recommend starting with smaller paddles, and as you gain experience and strength, slowly increase the size. Paddles should not be used for more than 25% of your total workout to avoid becoming dependent.
