• PRODUCT DETAILS
  The DMC SOFpaddle Hand Paddles - Green allow the swimmer to feel the water like never before, train their catch and get solid resistance in pull-sets across all strokes. Made from super soft silform the same soft silky polymer used in the moulding of DMC's swim fin range, makes the SOFpaddle easy to put on, easy to glide through your sets and even easier to remove. The paddles are designed to improve your shoulder strength whilst training your fingers to keep form – without any stress. They will flex with your hand, decreasing the load on your arms, shoulder and neck muscles.

   

  Benefits and How to Use 

  • The purpose of the design of this soft material training paddle is for the swimmer to engage their neurological muscle memory in their catch and stroke by feeling the water which cannot be done if the paddle is fixed statically onto the hand by means of tight straps.
  • The secondary design feature for increasing the swimmers' skillset is for their form not to waver during the end of the pull stroke where by the DMC SOFpaddle will alert them to their lack of form by itself catching turbulence and flapping at their palm heel.
  • For many swimmers who have tested and remained using DMC SOFpaddle for several weeks, they begin to change their style and engage neuromuscular memory for which they cannot return to their previous hard bladed and tight strapped devices.
  • If the swimmer is feeling like the DMC SOFpaddle is slipping, they should simply adjust their stroke at the apex of the ‘pull’ to engage a flatter angle and exit without any turbulence interruption at the heel of the palm.
  • DMC SOFpaddle is a very new product and even newer concept which has had many elite swim athletes and even coaches unaware of correct positioning of the catch and pull to achieve the optimum result - which is also not to strengthen the shoulders nor of course put any extraneous resistance at either shoulder point, but to train the swimmer’s catch and pull muscle memory as the primary goal.
  • We suggest starting with only 10% of your swim session using DMC SOFpaddle a few times a week for several weeks before increasing the use up to 50% plus.
  • To start - try same simple sculling to begin with. Try all strokes and especially breaststroke – and concentrate on the feeling of the turbulence when your palm is at the optimum ‘pull’ position.
