Let's take a look at the Mad Wave anti-paddles - a great training aid that most swimmers hate, but at the same time, it's very useful.
Unlike most other technique improving tools, anti paddles are great for improving all swimming styles, not just crawl. As the shape suggests, you will not enjoy any extra-long strokes with them. They are designed so that you have to focus on things that you may sometimes not think about during “normal” swimming. Above all, it is necessary to think about the high elbow during the stroke and the correct position of the whole arm. Thanks to the correct position of your forearms your stroke will be more effective. Because of the almost zero resistance, you must also think about the correct position of the body in the water, a firm torso, and the leg- kick. Another important thing to think about is the correct rotation of the palms in the water so that you can get the most out of your stroke. The anti-paddles are very light and even though they absorb water during swimming, they are never as heavy as classic hand paddles.
It’s a great tool for improving the technique, especially for realizing the mistakes we make while swimming. What is the best about them, however, is the feeling when you take them off, you suddenly feel a strong grip stroke. Even though you feel that you are almost motionless and anti-paddles are useless off, it's the opposite, it’s one of the best things for improving your stroke technique.
The anti paddles have adjustable straps so they fit perfectly on every hand even though they have a universal size. They are suitable for men, women and older children. I would definitely recommend them for all, not just to top-level, swimmers. You needed to work on your technique constantly.
