Great tool for training, making things awkward for hand movements. Nice length of the paddle
These paddles have been design with care. The shape suits the hand and helps fitting it with (relative) ease. It maybe that it is my first pair, but I struggle a bit with the rubbers to fix the fingers (although it is not a big issue). Very hydrodynamic, I feel muscles on fire when training with them
Good produc
Very good product and you feel the effect within one lap. Once you get to grips on how to secure the second once you wear one it’s easy. First time will be tricky.
Easy to adjust, help my technique
They are very easy to use, very sturdy, high quality. They help me to improve my swimming technique when doing crawl swimming, but they also work with a breaststroke. Which is nice because I can change techniques all the time. I am usually not strong enough to do whole lane of crawl swimming but with these it works. I love them.
Former national level swimmer here. Excellent build quality as expected from Speedo. Helps cut down training time since I now have time constraints in my ripe old age.
Perfect if you want to build greater upper body strength (mainly shoulders and triceps, but also biceps and chest). Excellent for endurance too.
Good addition if you want to focus on your shoulders
These serve a purpose, but the straps are a little awkward and they do cause discomfort to the hands after prolonged use, 20-30 laps of the pool. But, they do what they need to do, give you a good shoulder and arm workout. Overall a decent buy at the price, they’re pretty sturdy so will last you.
These paddles are being used to strengthen my stroke and to improve the front of my catch. I love the colour and the size fits me well. I have been using these for the pass three months and swimming about three times a week and they are wearing in very well. I would purchase these again.
Good bit of ki
Perfect size for my 10 year old when using for his swimming lessons, a bit tricky at first when putting them on but no problems after a couple of lessons. Can’t fault them
SWIM BETTER! SWIM STRONGER
wasn’t 100% sure at first but after using a few times I have found them to be Awesome They do all as promised and a bit more I can honestly recommend these try to you
The best swimming brand delivers agai
Fab – well shaped and easy to pull through the water. These are excellent training paddles for a good swimmer and will help with technique as much as with strength. A good price – and you can always trust Speedo to deliver on quality.
Bought these on instruction of swim instructor. Great at highlighting both faults in my stroke and enhancing the good points. A bit of a time consuming nuisance getting them on an off but learning and can’t complai
Great workout in the pool.
If your wanting a really hard swimming session then these paddles are for you. They really work the arms and shoulders, the resistance against the water is considerably hard. You can feel the benefit immediately. However, if you want a leisurely swim these will not suit you at all.
Delighted
Great fit, I chose a small size, small hand. Def quickened my pace in the water, I’m hoping to build strength in my arms, and certainly can feel the aches after the first attempt. Delighted with them
I always buy this style of paddles. They fit really well and give you brilliant resistance in the water. They are easy to put on and adjust. I would advise this design over most others on the marke
Good value for money
AS described in the website. A littel unconfortable due to the curvature of the Paddle but with time you get used to it. Good value for money. Really giid delivery time. Very reliable provider.
Used today for the first time, you can feel when you get your stroke correct. And when you take them off after a while and start swimming without them, it feels really “bare”. I do think it forces my arm muscles to work harder and will strengthen them as I swim.
Best eve
These are the real deal. I’ve tried the webbed glove varieties, and they are all more or less annoying. These are strong, and robust, and really help you build strength/ swim faster, etc. They say they improve technique as well, but that’s not my main goal, and the jury’s out on that one. I love them.
Well made and really improving technique. They are a bit larger than I expected (bought medium based on other reviews saying to go down a size but still found them bulky). That said, the extra size makes training more strenuous which has helped…
I have been swimming for years but I have always borrowed paddles from my coaches. This is the first pair of paddles that I buy for myself and they are great. I have tried other brands like arena, voit, and even some cheap ones, but Speedo is the winner here. Quality is outstanding and it’s super easy to adjust the cute red strap. I am a female with regular size hands and M size was just about right. Can’t wait to go to the pool and use them again. This is a must for someone that wants to correct technique and work on arm/shoulder strength

Bought 1 for me and then cam back to buy 2 more as gifts for my friends.
Really good grip, was perfect fit for my female and male friends hands. Helps work the arms better, especially if the pool is short and just making laps is not enough.

These paddles are excellent for training to help develop your freestyle technique and strengthen your arms. I bought the medium size thinking that the large size would be too big for my hands but next time I’ll buy the large size because they make you work harder and so are better for training.
Well made and works well in the pool
I wasn’t sure which size to get but a good rule of firm is to get a paddle that is just a little bigger than your hand. Hope that helps.
It’s well made and the bands to hold it in place are effective.
These are useful for training
These are useful for training. I have relatively small hands so wasn’t sure which size to buy (although it depends more what intensity of work out you are looking for). They fit well and are good quality as are all Speedo products.
Excelle
Bought these after damaging leg in an accident so can only swim with arms. Really impressed by increase in speed. Excellent. Not easy to put them onto hands tho. Easier if hands and paddles are wet. Remember to put swim goggles on first…and watch out for other swimmers cos the edges are like blades!
Well worth a try
Saw other people in the pool using them so thought id give them a try.
Having read other reviews the first few times I used them I warmed up for 10/15 mins before using them for 200 meters so as not to strain anything wow do you notice the difference for the next few lengths after taking them off.
Enjoying using them helps to break up my swims and you can really feel the extra effort needed, planning to gradually increase distance.
These are a useful to have in addition to the Speedo Power Paddle: they don’t do the same job. They’re slightly more comfortable to use because they have a scalloped design (not well shown in the pic) which means your hand adopts a more natural shape when pulling the stroke – this becomes important if you’re doing distance work.
The power paddle, by contrast, keeps your hand and fingers more-or-less flat and is larger. Though more comfortable than the power paddle, you expend less effort with the this Tech paddle which is good if you don’t want to work so hard – and you can overdo it with paddles. Not a bad idea to have a pair of each if you intend using them regularly then you can alternate them.
Comparing equivalent sizes (medium with medium) the power paddle gives, as you’d expect, a better work out but this paddle is more ‘natural’ and comfortable once you’ve got the strapping the way you want it. I don’t think either do much for your stroke: if it’s already good it’ll remain good but if it’s poor it’ll remain poor. Far better to watch a video or speak to a coach!
I recommend, at the least, re-arranging the red silicon strapping: they way it comes (as shown in pic) isn’t great for firmness of attachment or for comfort. I went one further and replaced with it with portions of a used, thin bicycle inner tube (cut to the right length then slice along main axis so you have the same length but thinner). I recommend putting one loop over the wrist and one over the hand knuckles on each paddle: the arrangement shown in the photo isn’t best for comfort, or for a firm attachment. The inner tube pieces can be locked firmly in place with a few small cable ties tied around the ends of the tube on the underside of the paddle. These are available from most DIY / hardware stores and the inner tube is easily (and cheaply) replaced if it wears out.
speedo tech swim paddles
does what i expected [ i did at one time coach swimming ] and i found the speedo & swimshop videos very helpfull also i could feel the benefit right away great purchase and delivery . i am considering buying swim fins to aid my swim fitness also.
I am an adult currently having lessons to re-learn/improve my swimming. These work well for front crawl and encourage you to ‘slice’ the water with your hands in the correct position, because otherwise they cause drag on the way in and ‘flap’ against your hands on the way out.
They were no good for breaststroke though. They hampered the recovery, and this is not me saying this as a beginner. The same thing happened when the instructor used them. She is not very keen for swimming aids to be used generally, but did like these paddles (for front craw; anyway).
The Speedo Tech paddle is an effective swim aid. The simple design for attaching to your hands allows for free fingers to start timing watch etc. As will all swim aid when arriving at the end of the length negotiating the wall can be a little awkward initially.
Great buy, received the order quickly and well packaged. I’m not a great swimmer but was told these are good for working your arm’s and chest harder while swimming, seems to do that pretty well. As long as your technique is right and your hands enter the water properly then these are good, they create a good amount resistance and power while swimming front crawl.
