Available in 7 sizes, these are the original stroke technique paddles. Designed to improve technique and increase strength in the swimming specific muscles while reducing the pressure on the shoulders, these are the paddles used by the majority of the top swimmers in the world.

Strokemakers were designed to be oversized, building strength and helping correct stroke faults,. The hand should fit completely on the paddle with the thumb and first finger near the edge and the pinky should have some space on the outside edge. The hand being slightly offset allows for fully finishing the stroke and the outer edge water foil builds strength without putting pressure on the joints Age and experience are two factors listed, but hand size in relation to the paddle is the primary way to determine the correct size. There is a printable size guide in the navigation bar above. Most swimmers drop down 1 to 2 sizes from their freestyle size for fly/back/breast as well as during taper. Going up a size or two for drills is also very beneficial to emphasize proper technique and to work on maximum distance per stroke. The sizing suggestions listed can also help with choosing a size.

Strokemaker hand paddles

I ordered the blue azure stronemake hande paddles and received a pair of strokemaker paddles they looked to be American themed as there was one red and one blue paddle with white sticker stars to attach to them. They are the same size of the blue azure ones but not what I ordered. I was not impressed that I did not get notified of the substitution before hand. We kept the paddles as they were needed but I should have been notified that I would not be receiving the ones I ordered so I could have been given the option to purchase elsewhere.
