Description
Swimming is not a natural form of locomotion, and as a result technique can be more important than physical strength and fitness. Effective swimming involves the use of the whole body working with the water, not fighting against it.
How Finis PT Hand Paddles Work:
The PT Paddles are shaped to deflect water around your hand, effectively removing the hands from the swimming equation. By removing the hand as a paddle, swimmers have to find other methods of generating propulsion. Because your hand can no longer 'grip' the water, your body will need to adjust your stroke. The elbow is positioned higher, the hips roll a little further, and the forearm is activated earlier, allowing you to catch and pull yourself through the water. Wearing the PT Paddles overtime increases your body awareness and muscle memory. Then when you swim normally without the paddles, you will feel stronger and faster in the water.
Benefits:
Encourages a higher elbow to pull with
Creates a slight instability in the water, teaching you to stabilize with your core muscles
Heightens your senses and enhances your 'feel for the water'
Decreases stress around the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles and reducing the possibility of injury
Increases 'body awareness' and improves overall coordination and timing
Improves hip rotation, allowing you to generate more power from each stroke
