Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do hand paddles do for swimming?
A: Hand paddles increase the surface area of your hand in the water, creating more resistance during the pull phase. This builds upper body strength, improves stroke technique, and develops a better feel for the water (known as "catch").
Q: What size hand paddle should I choose?
A: The Amanzi Jewel Paddles come in Small (17×14.5cm) and Medium (21×17.5cm). Beginners and younger swimmers typically start with Small; experienced and adult swimmers generally use Medium. A larger paddle creates more resistance and is better suited to stronger swimmers.
Q: What are the flow holes in the Amanzi Jewel Paddles for?
A: The strategically placed flow holes allow water to pass through the paddle, giving the swimmer a more natural feel for the water during the stroke. This helps develop proprioception and technique alongside strength.
Q: Can I replace the straps on the Amanzi Jewel Paddles?
A: Yes — the paddles come with Pixie silicone straps, and you can mix and match colours or replace them with AMANZI hand paddle strap kits, sold separately.
Q: What sizes are the Amanzi Jewel Hand Paddles available in?
A: Available at Swimwear Shack in Small and Medium in Purple.
