Finger Paddles for Swimmers with Larger Hands
Print Profile(2)
Description
Improve your swimming technique and stroke efficiency with these custom-designed finger paddles, specifically optimized for larger hands.
Unlike full-sized hand paddles that can put excessive strain on your shoulders, these finger paddles focus on refining your catch and early vertical forearm (EVF) phase. They are designed to give you just enough resistance to build strength and awareness without compromising your stroke mechanics.
Key Features
- Ergonomic Design: Specifically shaped for larger hands to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
- Adjustable Resistance: Featuring multiple attachment points so you can customize the tension and positioning to match your training goals—from light technique drills to more intense resistance training.
- Customizable Strapping: Designed to use standard silicone or latex tubing. This allows you to choose your favorite colors and adjust the strap length perfectly to your hand size.

Technical Details

Instructions
- Print: Use a durable, water-resistant filament.

Have fun training and reaching your new personal bests!
