Who are these hand paddles designed for?
The Arena Elite Hand Paddles are primarily designed for competitive swimmers looking to improve their technique, particularly the plunge and pull phases of their arm stroke.
How do I ensure the best fit?

Troubleshooting
Paddles feel uncomfortable or slip during use
Adjust the silicone straps to a more secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different strap positions to find the optimal placement for your hand size and stroke.
Reduced performance or unusual water resistance
Check the paddles for any debris or blockages in the perforations. Ensure the paddles are oriented correctly for your stroke and that the straps are not excessively loose.
