Paddles ARENA (black) — ARENA paddle accessory, model 95251/55 r.S

Paddles ARENA (black) are swim training paddles from ARENA designed to attach to the hand and increase water resistance during lap training and drills. They are intended to help swimmers concentrate on stroke mechanics, propulsion and the catch phase by providing a larger, stable surface area that interacts with the water. The black finish offers a neutral, low-visibility look suitable for training sessions in public pools and club environments.

Advantages

These ARENA paddles provide measurable feedback on hand placement and stroke path, helping to detect and correct common technical faults. By increasing resistance, they build specific upper-body and shoulder strength while emphasizing proper arm entry and pull-through. The paddles are lightweight yet rigid enough to maintain their shape under load, offering consistent performance during repeated sets.

Suitable for

• Technique drills focused on catch and pull
• Strength and conditioning sets in the pool
• Swim schooling for improving hand positioning
• Lap training for competitive and recreational swimmers

Key specifications

• Material: durable, rigid plastic designed for aquatic use
• Color: black
• Attachment: hand-straps for secure fit during strokes
• Intended use: swim technique and strength training
• Size class: small/regular fit for adult or youth swimmers (model-specific sizing)

How to use

Fit the paddle onto the hand so that the palm contacts the paddle surface and straps are adjusted to hold it securely without restricting circulation. Begin with short sets and moderate effort to adapt to the increased resistance, focusing on maintaining correct hand entry, high elbow during the catch and full extension through the pull. Alternate sets with regular swimming without paddles to avoid overloading the shoulders and to reinforce correct stroke mechanics without assistance.

Usage recommendations

Use paddles as part of a balanced training plan; avoid prolonged continuous use to reduce shoulder strain. Inspect straps and paddle surfaces regularly for wear and replace when damaged. Combine technique-focused sessions with strength and mobility exercises off the pool deck to support shoulder health.
