Hand Paddles
If you’re looking to add resistance to your arm pull, hand paddles will provide this. Hand paddles are usually made of plastic and are held in place on the hands with short lengths of surgical tubing that are attached to the paddle. They come in various sizes. The larger the size, the more resistance will be provided. Be careful when considering using hand paddles. While they are great for “feeling” the water is you swim and can be a great swimming specific strength training exercise, they can also put too much stress on the shoulders. Monitor their use and discontinue if they are causing any type of joint pain.
