QTY:
Created and developed by Ron Johnson (World Record Master swimmer, former ASU Head Coach, inventor of the Strokemaker(TM) and Catalyst(TM) training paddles). The Mentor is perfect for swimmers of all levels, from fitness swimmers to triathletes. This evolutionary, technical paddle is designed to build strength without losing feel, and catches water more quickly on the entry phase of the stroke than traditional paddles. It allows for maximum water feel and teaches you proper stoke techniques as well as specific strength development for all four competitive strokes, all while reducing shoulder stress.

Tested by World Champion swimmers, the Mentor is unanimously championed as a must for your training arsenal.

The paddles automatically corrected some problems with my stroke and are great for strengthening the upper body in a short period of time.

Excellent paddles but flawed
By Trevor F. from San Luis Obispo, CA on 7/22/2009
Size: Feels true to size

This paddle is an excellent paddle to build strength with while reducing any shoulder pain.  The only down side is i've owned 3 pairs and have snapped in half all of them.  The PVC foam they use is not that strong.   I'm a marathoner and surfer to give you an idea of whose using them and I'm NOT that big of a guy.  I continue to buy them cause I feel there worth it but be ready for them to break.

Improve strength and stroke, reduce shoulder pain
By KP from San Jose, CA on 6/16/2009
Size: Feels true to size

These are great paddles.  For me, they are the only ones that are comfortable with my bad shoulder, and using them regularly (5 days a week, 3,000 yards a day for 6 years), they have helped strengthen my muscles and correct my stroke.  I'm pretty convinced that's why my shoulder pain has been significantly reduced and is , at times, not even with me!  Plus, I've been able to keep swimming, which at one point I thought I wouldn't be able to do. My stroke is more efficient and thus I swim a little faster. FYI, I am a 122 lb.  middle-aged woman with small hands, and these paddles are much better for me than the next size up.  I think they are great for casual and more serious smaller adult swimmers.
