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.

Work well, but don't last long.
Reviewer: Joseph Miller from Chesapeake, VA United States
I've used two pairs of these paddles in the last 12 months, the Large and the Extra-large.  
In the water, I really like the way they feel and the extra workout for my arms.
What I don't like is their durability.  I used large paddles first, and the left hand cracked at the base of the palm area and spread from flow-hole to flow-hole up to paddle.  I used Extra-large next, thinking I'd done something wrong to my first pair.  I treated them very gently.  Unfortunately, the right hand paddle cracked at nearly the same area and with the same pattern.
When cracked, the paddle flexes badly in the water.
No glue I've tried has lasted.  They come with extra tubing for fingers and wrist, but the paddles don't last long enough to need new straps.
I now use the pairs sandwiched together for mutual reinforcement.  Heavier, but workable.  
I'll be buying a different brand soon.
