FAQs

What is the main benefit of using the Arena Elite 2 Hand Paddles?

The primary benefits are improved pull strength, better grip, enhanced power and endurance, and valuable feedback for technique correction.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Use the updated lacing system to adjust the straps for a snug, secure, but comfortable fit. The paddle should not move during your stroke, but it should not impede circulation.

Can these paddles be used for all swimming strokes?

While they can be adapted for various strokes, they are most commonly used with freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly to develop specific muscle groups and technique.

How often should I clean the paddles?

It's recommended to rinse them with non-chlorinated water after every use. A more thorough wash with mild detergent can be done occasionally, following label instructions.

What material are the paddles made from?

The paddles are constructed from durable polypropylene, with comfortable silicone straps.

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, the Arena Elite 2 Hand Paddles are available in an even wider range of sizes to accommodate more swimmers.

What should I do if I experience discomfort?

Try adjusting the lacing system for a better fit. Ensure you are using the correct size and that the straps are not digging into your skin.

Troubleshooting

Paddles feel uncomfortable or cause chafing

Adjust the lacing system for a more precise fit. Ensure straps are not too tight and consider using a swim cap liner under the straps if chafing persists.

Paddles slip during swimming

Tighten the lacing system to ensure a secure fit. Make sure your hands are not overly wet or soapy when initially putting them on.

Reduced effectiveness or performance

Check for any damage to the paddle or straps. Ensure you are using the correct size for your hands. Review your technique to ensure you are maximizing the paddle's surface area.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the lacing system is clean and free of debris. Practice adjusting the straps when the paddles are dry to get a feel for the mechanism.
