Strokemakers were engineered to improve your swimming stroke while limiting stress on your shoulders.
The paddles improve your stroke in the following ways:
• They increase distance per stroke by inhibiting early recovery.
• They strengthen swimming specific muscles as well as muscles used in water propulsion.
• The holes and flexible design of the paddles improve the swimmer's feel for the water.
• The paddles exaggerate to the swimmer both correct and incorrect movements.
Strokemakers can be used in all four competitive strokes for drills, pulling sets, and sprint-asisted swimming. Swimmers may want to consider dropping down one or two sizes during taper and at the beginning of seasons. The paddles are also useful for synchro swimmers, water aerobics and some medical rehab due to their ability to increase strength and sculling skills.
Please note:
• Size is coded by color
• Paddles measures 7" wide x 8" long
• Includes tubing
• S Green is for ages 9-13; high school stroke swimmers; beginning female masters and young synchronized swimmers

No need to use the wrist strap if you are looking to work on your pull. Easy to assemble and use.

After finally admitting that drills, rather than just swimming, are the way to improve, I have been doing sets with fins, with these paddles, and with both, and have noticed muscles that never got sore before, so they must be working to improve strength. The instruction diagram for placing the rubber tubes did not match the actual placement of the holes on the product, so it took a couple of laps for me to figure out that the tubes need to go in the smaller sized holes. After I made that fix, the paddles fit my hand much better than when the tubes were in the wrong place (imagine that!), and they do force a slightly different stroke than I was used to, and prevent me from cutting the stoke short, so hopefully they are doing their job. I''d recommend this product.

Required for her college swim program, my daughter requested replacment paddles (straps on her former ones, a different brand, were broken- there were no replacements). The sizing guide made selecting the appropriate paddle easy. Strokemaker also offers replacement tubing (much easier to thread than hardware store latex!). Overall, this became one of the easier purchases to make.

Best paddle, it works with all 4 strokes. The plastic that its made with is kind of thin, so after awhile the paddle will kind of mold to the swimmers hand. Another thing that makes this paddle great is that it isnt real tight, so swimmers find them to be very comfortable when wearing, and all the holes in them allow the swimmer to get a better feel for the water.

I have used these paddles for 15 years if not more. They are the only paddles I will ever use because they are easy to customize and not too big or too small for a woman''s hand. I actually don''t use the bottom wrist band but that could be a personal thing.
