Agility Floating Swim Paddles - Strapless Design for Stroke Technique - Instant Feedback

Great Training Tool – If You Have the Right Technique I've had a pair of these paddles for years. I swim at least a mile a day, and they’ve been a huge help in improving my stroke and efficiency. A few key things to know: No straps – which is great because there's nothing to break or adjust. But with that comes zero forgiveness. If you’re not pulling straight back with a high elbow, these will fall off—and you’ll hate them. If your stroke involves waving your hand under you or pulling with a straight arm, these can actually lead to injury. So make sure your technique is solid before using them. Here’s my suggestion: Start by swimming without paddles, using a closed fist drill. With proper form—a high elbow and early catch—you should be able to swim at about ¾ speed, even with your fists closed. Focus on using your entire forearm as a paddle. Your fingers should point down toward the pool bottom, and your hands should never cross your centerline. Once that feels solid, add the paddles. Swim slowly at first. Keep your arm bent right after you extend it in front of you. Watch your bubbles—if you’re entering the water cleanly, you shouldn’t see any around your hand. I swim hard and fast with these (I’m a 62-year-old male, swimming 1:40/100M) and I’ve never had shoulder pain. My chest and back feel the work, but not my shoulders—which tells me these are doing their job without stressing the wrong muscles. If you know how to swim with a high elbow and solid form, these paddles are fantastic. If they keep falling off, that’s your stroke talking. Slow it down, focus on form, and use them to reinforce good technique. When you first go to use these do not put your thumb through the hole. Instead, make a fist and put the paddle up against your wrist, so your fingertips are just wrapped around the edge of it. You’re basically making your arm into a paddle. When you stroke work on your entry, extending your hand away in front of you. An early vertical forearm. And then the catch. It’ll feel strange at first. You should feel pressure on your wrist and forearm. As you get your stroke better then eventually you can put your thumb in the hole and wear it properly. But if your stroke is not proper, it is not forgiving.

Haven't used paddles in years. These are so much better than the old flat style with rubber bands. They are comfortable & really increase your pull. I got the large as I'm 6'2" 260 & these are perfect. It's great adding a training tool that is a thrill to use.

I feel like I've tried every other style of paddle on the market and all have struck me as being flawed in that they will amplify bad form to the point of injury in very short order. After mentioning this to my coach he recommended I give these a shot and I glad that I did. Other paddles are strapped to your hand which means that you have to be extra vigilant with hand position and stroke or you can risk injury to your shoulders or elbows. With the Agility paddles the only thing holding them on is the thumb hole and the resistance of the water. That combined with the shape of the paddle means that they will fall off if you aren't swimming with correct form. This is a great training aid that is well-designed, comfortable, and works exactly as intended. I find swimming with these to be a joy and actually look forward to my pull sets. The best part is that this has to be one of the best bang for your buck training aids available. I liked them so much that my wife got a pair for herself as well.

Love these paddles. Better than the kind with silicone tubing. Only nit is after using for a long time they will start to develop a stress crack by the thumb. I have gone through about three pairs in 6 years because the crack will continue to grow. That said it’s the most comfortable and easiest to use.

Used these back in high school swimming. Purchased now as an adult, swimming for fun. These are great, I really notice a difference in my stroke after using them. I feel that it helps to build better stroke technique and strengthen my arms. Also, durable compared to other types of paddles since they do not have any rubber attachments.

Work well for stroke consistency

I THOUGHT THEY WERE BUT I LIKE THEM BETTER THAN A NOTHER ONE TESTED THAT WILL NOT HAVE HELD UP. THIS ONE WILL. 5 STAR FOR DAILY USE.

The Agility paddles are excellent because they help correct form and doesnt require adjustments and maintenance. I have two kids in club swimming and thos is part of their tool bag. I don't have to worry about adjustable straps breaking or falling out. Our previous paddles came with adjustable tubes that loops through holes, and the tubes comes loose constantly; it was a pain. These paddles have 1 piece design so they are easy to put on and less to worry about on the go.

Very effective, excellent product!

Finis paddles, fantastici. Leggere, anatomiche, più resistenza ma niente dolore, funziona. Una stupenda scoperta per chi come me nuota soltanto a rana :)

So easy to use. Start with smaller ones and work up

商品到着が予定より早く嬉しかったです。子供が使っていてまだクロールと平泳ぎにしか使っていませんがとても気に入っています。キャッチが出来ていないと確かに抜けそうになると言っていましたがそこを意識した練習が出来るのではないかと思っています。

Palme pour les mains qui fait bien son taf, bonne prise en main dans l'eau, fait travaillé les bras et la position des mains pour la nage. Testé à la plage pendant la période estivale, recommande ce produit.
