Agility Paddle Swimming Training Paddles

The importance of good hand positioning

The ergonomically innovative shape of the Agility Paddles helps teach swimmers the correct hand position. The absence of elastic bands means that incorrect movements would cause the swimmer to lose the paddle. The convex shape, however, promotes proper hand entry and reminds the athlete to maintain an early vertical forearm position. The paddle is versatile and can be used in all four strokes; it is one size fits most hands.

The Technical Agility Paddles are not only durable but the absence of elastic makes them more comfortable for the swimmer to wear and does not create problems for coaches with wasted time due to broken elastics!

“The Agility Paddles have really helped me focus my efforts on perfecting my catch and pull phase of my stroke cycle. Because of the lack of elastic, you need to maintain constant pressure to keep the paddle from slipping from your hand,” says Jason Dunford, 2008 Olympic finalist. “Unlike other Agility Paddles, these are shaped perfectly to fit your hand. They allow me to maintain a natural feel, which means I can better practice my stroke mechanics.”
