Han's Paddles Original

Han's Paddles are the most versatile paddles available. There are 2 different positions for crawl stroke technique instruction and for training (plus one additional position for special backstroke drills). Two positions enhances the ability of the swimmer to adapt to the "feel" or sense perception of the water on the hand. This is accomplished without changing the tubing position on the paddle. The swimmer only reverses the position of the paddle on the hand for a simple and quick stroking adjustment. The tapered end frontal position places the paddle further forward on the hand. This changes the "feel" adaptation, and teaches the hand, wrist, elbow order of entry. It also encourages a downward sweep of the hand and high elbow position to continually reach "new" water in the crawl stroke. A downward sweep is more efficient than the older concept of lateral sweeps. All of my paddles are holed paddles with the number and size of the holes optimum for reducing joint stress.
