About this model

Hand paddles help you learn the right angle and position of hands when practicing proper swimming technique. There are many different kinds of paddles some of which are also used to build upper body strength. Here is a one example of hand paddles that you can print. Novice swimmers should start with smaller paddles to prevent injury as training hard with big paddles combined with bad technique can cause heavy strain on shoulders. I have a design for finger paddles, too. Thing number 683690. Paddles in the photos (including a hand for scale) are prints of the small version. Normal version is similar, but larger.
