Speedo Fastskin Hand Paddle

Speedo’s Fastskin Hand paddles are new pieces of the Fastskin swimming accessories. This swimming aid is a great solution for swimmers who want to improve their fitness, technique or want to strengthen the upper body. Swimming paddles were developed with the collaboration of top swimmers.

The swimming paddles are made from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber. The paddles have a special fixing system that allows for better hydrodynamic properties and greater comfort while swimming. Swimming paddles are available in red and gray.

If you want to swim more efficiently and smarter, these paddles are  made for you.

At first I did not know what to think about the Speedo Fastskin Hand paddles, because they are completely different from the shapes I know. The hand is inserted into the paddle, which is wrapped on both sides and fixed with a rubber band in the middle. The first time I thought the paddles were a bit tight, and I have a rather small hand. It’s a little pity that the paddles are available only in one universal size.

Speedo Fastskin Hand paddles are ergonomic and I had to get used to swimming with them for a while. Swimming paddles are mostly made either for force (resisting) or for the proper execution and improvement of the technique. Speedo’s Fastskin Hand paddles are the first paddles for which I had the feeling of combining both. The paddles provide resistance, but thanks to its ergonomics, the swimmer forces ensure swimmer to seek the most optimal and most efficient trajectory during the engagement phase.

Fastskin is a label for Speedo products that are designed for the best hydrodynamics in water. It’s a swimming equipment designed for racing and performance swimmers to reach the most optimal performance. In the Speedo Fastskin range you will find complete equipment. The main ones are, of course, swimwear, goggles and caps that are homologated by FINA, but you can also find training equipment like kickboards, hand paddles and fins. The main success of these technologies is that Speedo carried out a 3D scan of elite swimmers and, through computer simulation, then conducted research and calculations on the resistance and durability of materials.
