Hand paddles are a piece of equipment almost every swimmer has in their bag. They help with generating power, training the upper limbs and shoulders, and developing a better feel for the water. That’s why paddles are also commonly used during meet warmups. But is it really a good idea to modify the surface area of your hand right before a race? And what are the differences between using paddles in practice and meet warmups? How does that weird feeling we have once we take the paddles off affect our performance? Some studies have taken a closer look at the biomechanics of hand paddles for swimmers and their effect on a swimmer’s stroke.

How to Increase the Speed of Your Freestyle & Dolphin Kick

In the world of modern high-intensity training and boutique fitness classes, swimming is a refreshingly simple workout. All it requires is a basic swimsuit, access to a pool (which most towns have at a low community-center rate), and the basic stroke skills many of us learned as children.

AS SWIMMERS return to their local pools this summer after a very long dry spell, they’ll have their pick of new tracking and timing technology to improve their strokes. From heart-rate sensors that clip onto goggle bands to smart goggles that project a tally of how many laps you’ve swum directly onto the lens, underwater fitness tech is catching up to its aboveground cousins. Much like Fitbits, these new devices relay via companion apps how hard you worked and whether to take it easy or push yourself on your next swim. We tested some of the most intriguing innovations to see what’s helpful and what’s hype before you invest.
