Got these paddles to increase my workout, and while they do that, and overall I like them, I don't like the rubber attachments.  They are hard to adjust.  If I make them tight enough for comfortable swimming, I have a hard time getting them on.  If I leave them loose enough to put on, they are very hard to tighten once they are on my hands.  I wish they were velcro.  But I do like swimming with them.

As a swim team coach, I was looking for hand paddles that had a more comfortable finger placement, than the typical rubber band-like straps that are more difficult to adjust and leave pinch marks on the hands. With the Aquatica paddles, a silicone loop goes over the middle finger, while a silicone strap secures the hands in place. I use these for my swim workouts in combination with a pull buoy to create resistance, by strengthening the muscles in my wrist, arm, and shoulder. This is also a useful tool in improving one's stroke and enabling full extension and range of motion. I highly recommend these paddles for their comfort, great design, and versatility of workouts!!

I have always avoided swim paddles because I have never felt there was a proper design out there. These paddles are comfortable and once adjusted to your hands are a good training tool. They are forgiving for stroking mistakes as you build strength and polish your technique. I really like the concave shape over the palm area of the hand.

Has improved my stroke and arm position

Easy to use with many different strokes.

Great. Very good quality and fit. My 14 year old uses it and is very happy with it. He is tall 6'3", so I think it is better fit for older kids. For my 10 year old, they seemed a little big, but would be ok as well. Very good product.

These paddles are the perfect tool for training.  They are very comfortable and easy to use.
