The paddle includes a body member having an upper surface and a lower surface, a front edge adjacent the fingertips of a swimmer, a rear edge adjacent the palm, an inner edge adjacent the thumb and an outer edge adjacent the little finger. When the fingers rest on the upper surface of the body member they are substantially aligned in a first plane. The paddle also includes a device connected to the body member for positioning the thumb on the body member in a second plane below the fingers, and a device connected to the body member for holding the body member from movement away from the thumb during a swimmer's stroke.
