Sporti Power Swim Paddles Reviews

2/18/2014 Great Paddles

By JeffBeaudette

I began using these paddles as I trained for my first Ironman. I was amazed at how well they worked. They allow me to power through the water. At the gym I was trying to find some exercises that built on the mussels used when swimming. These paddles did exactly that. A great buy.

1/25/2011 Amazing

By Thomas L.

I am a large person with little to no use of my legs. I bought these to try to help me in aqua therapy. They have been amazingly helpful. Since I cannot use my legs and my weight distribution makes it hard for me to get level in the water, I was basically limited to stationary movements. With these I have been able to move fast enough to maintain my legs in a more horizontal position and have started actually doing laps. After two weeks of use, I was able, today, to do 22 laps of a 25 meter pool. I am very exhausted and very happy with these. I bought the cheapest ones to test. I just today ordered three other types of swim paddles to see if any will work better for me. I have the utmost faith that Swim Outlet carries only quality products and that if the new items do not work well for me and my disabilities that someone at the pool will gladly take them off my hand. I am hoping that they will allow me to work out different muscles because of their different design, but if not, I will be perfectly content with the ones I have.

By David H.

I can feel when my hands are not positioned right and keeps me thinking about my stroke while I swim

4/24/2011 Great Product

By Swim Dad

These paddles are perfect. I am Five-Ten, one-seventy and the medium size fit my hands perfectly. I use them 5 times per week and they are great. I have compared them to the more expensive ones used by other swimmers at my club and these are by far superior. You can pay more but you won't find a better swim paddle any where.

9/25/2015 Great value for the price

By Descended from Fish

I've been using these paddles for years. They're quite comfortable, slice through the water neatly, and help build upper body strength. Every couple of years the rubber cords get brittle and break, so I simply order new paddles. They're so inexpensive, it's no big deal.

7/31/2013 Love the paddles, but straps don't last

By Becky T.

I really LOVE these paddles, but after only 3 months of storing in my equipment bag, the straps disintegrated and broke. But, for the price, it really can't be beat.

5/1/2011 Great

By StayaFloat

These help a great deal. If you are afraid that you might not stay afloat, wearing these you won't be going under the water. Great work out for the arms.

7/2/2015 Good quality, didn't last long

By Karson15

I ordered the medium size and they fit perfectly (5'10"). But I wore them maybe 5 times and wrist band snapped in half.

By MARC G.

EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR

2/10/2011 Great price, fit and performance

By Al

Great price. I originally bought the large size thinking that's what I needed but then switched to medium. Medium is a good size for an average sized (5'9") person. My wife has the small size and loves them.

10/4/2018 Sporting swim paddles

By Gail

If you have arthritis in your fingers the cords can be painful.

By Jeff

Good product and good service from Swimoutlet.

7/19/2017 Forces my hand into an unnatural position

By swimtobefit

Because the paddles are completely flat, my hand was forced into an unnatural position, hurting my wrists and fingers. If I loosened the straps, there was too much play and the paddles moved around too much. Unfortunately, because I tried them a few times, they were considered "used" and therefore not returnable for a refund or exchange. It would be helpful if Swim Outlet relaxed their return policy to allow some equipment to be returned, at least for an exchange. Until you use it, it isn't apparent whether the product will work for you or not.

8/7/2019 Swim Paddles

By Mary

With this being the first time using paddles, it has been great. they allow water to pull through the holes and I get a great arm workout. They flip back easily if I want to use my hands.

8/4/2019 Awesome paddles

By Daniel

Very happy with the purchase. I used to always wonder what these were like but they are a great addition to any swim work out. They really work your lats and sides and help you to glide through the water just as effortlessly as foot flippers.
