SWIM HAND PADDLES

A hand paddle is a device worn by swimmers during training. It consists of a plastic plate worn over the swimmer's palm and attached over the back of the swimmer's hand with elastic cords. The plate is often perforated with a pattern of holes.
Handle paddles increase the resistance the hand experiences as it tries to move through the water during the effective part of the arm stroke - the part of the stroke described as the "pull".
It also enhances the swimmer's feel of the "catch", the phase prior to the pull, where the hand turns from a streamlined position to grasp the water and begin the pull.
Paddles are often used with pull buoys to build up arm strength.

Different types of paddles include:

• Finger paddles - Designed to fit on your fingers and built for all strokes, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle.
• Freestyle Paddles - Designed especially for swimmers swimming freestyle.
• Han's Paddles - The Original Holed Swimming Paddles.
• Speedo Original Hand Paddles - One of the first and made for most strokes.
• Sculling and Vortex paddles - Designed to build upper body strength.^[6]
