FINIS Iso Swim Training Paddles - Stroke Technique Trainer - Isolates Muscle Groups - Strapless - Black/Gold

It's a little awkward to use at first, but helps to improve your pull a lot.They designed this device to strengthen specific muscle groups depending on the stroke you use, so it's really good for intensive workouts, because it gives specific resistance while you train any of the four styles.Quality materials prevent excessive scratches and being black and yellow people thinks you use different paddles till you explain how they work, and then they want to try them!!!

These paddles can be used a couple of ways - I settled on middle finger through the opening with “Finis” showing at the top. I had initially wanted and ordered the other Finis paddles, the ones where your thumb goes through, and as soon as I tried them on my hand, I knew I’d lose them. With those, you’re reliant on your thumb kind of clenching to keep them in place, but with the ISO paddles, my hand shapes naturally in the open position that I teach. I don’t worry about them slipping off and they are great at their main job, which is to add resistance so my strokes get stronger! I recommend these without reservation! 5 stars!

I bought these training paddles because I like the idea a pair of conveniently sized training paddles to add resistance to my swim work out. I thought the notion that because of the change in the way the water dynamics develop depending on which paddle you put on the left and which on the right was interesting; but I wasn't really expecting the difference to be significant. However, it turns out that if I do the work out one way my arms feel more worked on the outside, and more sore the next day, on the outside. If I reverse the paddles for another workout, I then feel the work out more on the inside of my arms. So I do 30" one way and 30" the other way and feel I've had a real good workout for both the inside and outside muscles of my arm. Pretty cool. I happily endorse this product.

Nice to not have to worry about the strap getting old and brittle and then breaking. A small learning curve to get used to that. Comfortable

I've swum about 80,000 yards with these now and can say I really like them. You can feel the different muscles activate. The size and the way they move through the water is really nice. They don't feel awkward or grossly exaggerate any mechanics.I ordered the size small because I was also going to let a female friend I was coaching use them, and I'm happy I did. My glove size is a Mens Lrg or XL and I actually really like the size of the small.

Best swim pedals! He never has to fight with the finger holes! He loves using paddles with these only

Hard to believe it/s helpful.For me it wasn't.

I doubted these at first - no strap paddles ? But the trick is they only stay on as long as your form is good and your fingers aren't splayed out but rather together ( as they should be). Unique trait is that these are really versatile - compatible w/ any stroke to build up resistance AND you can swap the yellow paddle and black paddle to either left or right hand for increased resistance ( the larger "fin" goes towards center of your body = chest resistance, or towards your lateral body = shoulder, triceps resistance). I never miss a drill without these.... And I swear when I hit dry land workouts with weights my strength has increased with tricep and chest workouts exponentially. Great !
