Work Great
By Jonny from Denver on 12/30/2020
Fit: TRUE
These really increase my resistance while swimming. I swim for overall conditioning, so I like to get more resistance, and these do the trick.
As with older models, a little for strap would be useful, and mu hands aren't very large.

Works great for my kids
By Big Guys Swim Too from Los Angeles, CA on 12/23/2020
Fit: NA
Bought the medium size for my sons who swim 5x a week. They are 4th & 5th graders. Figured they will grow into them. Meanwhile, the added resistance is great. They are both getting stronger in the water. Paddles are a great addition for swim workouts as they help them stay mindful of hand position on the pull through. Positive results have shown in just weeks.
Only gave them 4 stars because the straps seem a little small. As their hands get bigger over the years, could prove difficult to get on and off. Otherwise, a solid choice.

Pretty good pretty goooood
By Celestia from NC on 12/18/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
So this item is good for building up your arm strength to get a stronger pull, and I think this set of hand paddles does just the job. I have no problems with them and they work perfectly. The sizes of your hands do matter though, I ordered a medium and found they were a bit too big for my liking, but its not a problem. For people with relatively small hands, definitely get a small size. Otherwise a great product!

Extremely Helpful
By B-Rad from So Cal on 12/16/2020
Fit: NA
This thing isn’t used for long distance, this won’t build your endurance, but it will make you remember to pull water effectively and efficiently.
The one thing I noticed the most is you can’t cheat your follow through, so in return you’re actually pulling more water per stroke!
It can be awkward and takes some getting used to. I recommend sliding it as far up your forearm as possible, it will allow you to get more leverage with your fingers on the other end to hold it in place, also use a pull buoy.
I tend to do this in between long distance pull sets, to remind myself the follow through and keep that muscle memory going.
Happy Swimming 🤙

Fit: NA
They are actually orange, not blue, and they are huge. Still a useful paddle though and I like the holes in them.

its great but the elastic band long term might be a problem. It gets old and breaks off after a while.

Nice paddles, but the sizing was off for me.
By Swimstine from Phoenix, AZ on 12/3/2020
Fit: NA
I first ordered the XS based on the measurements. When they arrived, my fingers went way over the edges. I exchanged them and got a M since the XS was entirely too small, but the M is too large.

Product works great; shipping was slow and expensive
By Jersey Jeff from New Jersey on 12/2/2020
Fit: NA
Product installed in minutes and seemed more durable than the tubing it replaced. Shipping from SwimOutlet took a week when USPS First Class would have taken 3 days at the most. Still, my old swim paddles are now good as new :-)

FINIS Agility Paddles
By Tim from Delaware on 11/16/2020
Fit: TRUE
These are great! Make sure you measure your hand from the base of palm to the tip of longest finger in addition width at the widest part of palm. I had to exchange sizes but SwimOutlet made it smooth (the exchange) and effortless!

Great Fit for Women’s Hands!
By Jenn from Seattle, WA on 10/29/2020
Fit: NA
These fit ladies hands so well, as they are adjustable and fit your natural hand curve. You can instantly tell when your form is off and correct it. Highly recommend!

Great Product

Added my own retention straps. Even with that, but these are very effective developing proper hand motion during the stroke.

Good but preferred the old style
By Mountaindogdad from Bay Area on 10/19/2020
Fit: NA
My older catalyst paddles had a large cutout where your palm goes. I could stick an end of the other panel through that against my hand and use it to adjust the feel of the paddle. The current version does not have that. Otherwise it is fine.

Works as promised
By Elizabeth H from St. Louis, MO on 9/23/2020
Fit: TRUE
I chose these paddles because they were supposed to fall off if your form was bad while pulling, and they do seem to work as promised. Since there's no strap, they slip right off if you drop your elbow, etc. And I appreciate that they float, because otherwise I'd be hunting along the bottom of the pool for them!

Great paddles but TOO BIG

Fit: TOOBIG
Paddles are great but too big. I wish I could exchange them but store did not give that option. Only option was to return and get refund.

Swim paddles

Advanced and highly effective design
By Mark from Missoula MT on 8/18/2020
Fit: TRUE
The advanced design really does isolate inside & outside muscles. Great way to compress a swim workout. The shape also allows for reversible use (180) on the hands, depending on what feels best - I have large hands that the medium sizing doesn't quite accommodate, and some of my finger joints have seen better days. Note that these don't float, but that wasn't a consideration for me.

Huge Paddles!
By Georgia Girl from Fort Valley, GA on 8/9/2020
Fit: TRUE
These are very large paddles. I wear a size 7 surgical glove and have long fingers and even for me these are quite large. That said I find them very helpful when working on freestyle arm placement. You have to pick your elbow up and place finger tips first or the paddle will catch. I like a smaller paddle for breaststroke and backstroke work.

Takes some time to adjust to
By Alicia from San Diego, CA on 8/7/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I liked the idea of inner/outer stroke isolation but the design is a bit uncomfortable- the edges of the hole dig into my middle fingers and make it hard to focus on my stroke. However this may be because I have thin fingers/narrow hands, so consider sizing down if you have thin hands. If you're looking to increase resistance and get a more challenging arm workout, you may want to use classic paddles.
PRO: Can be used for breaststroke which is cool!

Too big

Ordered the large since I only had two choices and my hands are certainly not small, but these are way too big!
