Swimming is not a natural form of locomotion, and as a result technique can be more important than physical strength and fitness. Effective swimming involves the use of the whole body working with the water, not fighting against it.PT Paddles are designed to help you find and develop your Perfect Technique in the water. The proper use of the paddles will improve the technical aspects of your stroke: * Increase Coordination * Build Core Strength * Create a "Feel for the Water" * Maximize Distance per Stroke Features: * Ergonomically designed for comfort and made of engineered materials with a very similar density to water to create a natural swimming stroke * Comprised of durable PU material that is UV and chlorine resistant * Textured upper surface for grip Benefits: * Encourages a higher elbow to pull with * Creates a slight instability in the water, teaching you to stabilize with your core muscles * Heightens your senses and enhances your 'feel for the water' * Decreases stress around the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles and reducing the possibility of injury * Increases 'body awareness' and improves overall coordination and timing * Improves hip rotation, allowing you to generate more power from each stroke
