ABSTRACT:
A swim paddle is attached by elastic loops to the palm of a swimmer's hand to increase hydrodynamic resistance. The paddle extends beyond the sides of the hand and is relieved on the thumb side so as to leave the two distal phalanges free to move. The paddle is relieved on the bottom edge so as to leave the wrist joint free to move. The paddle extends at the top edge only to the proximal phalanges of the fingers so that the distal two phalanges of the fingers and thumb are free to use while the paddle is in place on the hand. A discoidal weight is removably attachable to the paddle for enhanced training effect as desired.
