ABSTRACT:
A swimming glove includes a glove body and finger sheaths, and a sleeve made from a woven fabric having webs joining the finger sheaths and a blade bilaterally extending outward from the sleeve thereof and the sheaths for the thumb and the little finger for increasing the force of the stroke of the hand. The blade has a first area adjacent to glove body, whose first part is thinner than a second part adjacent to the sleeve, for maximum finger dexterity and comfort. Hinges are formed on the blade along the sleeve so that the blade is turned toward the rowing direction of the hand to reduce water resistance upon each return stroke of the hand.
