Product Description

The new FINIS PT Paddles are designed to help you find and develop your Perfect Technique in the water. They are shaped to deflect water around your hand, effectively removing the hands from the swimming equation. By removing the hand as a paddle, swimmers have to find other methods of generating propulsion.Because your hand can no longer 'grip' the water, your body will need to adjust your stroke. The elbow is positioned higher, the hips roll a little further, and the forearm is activated earlier, allowing you to catch and pull yourself through the water.Wearing the PT Paddles overtime increases your body awareness and muscle memory. Then when you swim normally without the paddles, you will feel stronger and faster in the water. One size fits all.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Anti paddle review, May 28, 2011

I purchased two pairs of these anti paddles on the Amazon web page. Reasonably priced and cheap shipping prices. These are made from a spongey material and are a great aid for swimming. The bands around the fingers are not in the position to control the paddle at it's best. Not sure how long they will last being used in the water on a daily basis . Great aid for improving technique and using the legs more.

Not absolutely necessary, but these paddles make your "fist" drill more effective. It is supposed to feel awkward! Focus on your forearms pulling and you will begin to feel a difference in your stroke.
