The superior technique & strength building training paddle, designed by Nancy Schlueter, (NCAA Division 1 coach, ASCA level 5 coach, & Ousley Award winner)
& based on the original design by Walt Schlueter, Founder of ASCA, Hall of Fame Inductee for Technique, ASCA level 5 coach, & Ousley Award winner.
Used by olympians, national champions & elite swimmers worldwide.
Strokemakers will improve your swimming by:
Increasing distance per stroke by preventing early recovery
Improving feel for the water. The flow through design prevents "dead hand" feel
Exaggerating both correct & incorrect hand motions, helping swimmers & coaches identify & correct stroke faults
Designed to improve stroke technique, build swimming specific muscles & reduce stress on the shoulders
Suitable for training & drills in all competitive strokes as well as for swim-run competitions, physical therapy, synchro sculling drills, body surfing, & water aerobics
Strokemakers are also great for Synchronized swimmers, water aerobics & rehabilitation exercises as they increase strength & sculling skills.
Available in 7 sizes kids through mens & womens. (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) AS FOLLOWS:
Strokemakers were designed to be oversized, building strength & helping correct stroke faults.
The hand should fit completely on the paddle with the thumb and first finger near the edge and the pinky should have some space on the outside edge.
The hand being slightly offset allows for fully finishing the stroke & the outer edge water foil builds strength without putting pressure on the joints.
Age and experience are two factors listed, but hand size in relation to the paddle is the primary way to determine the correct size.
Most swimmers drop down 1 to 2 sizes from their freestyle size for fly/back/breast as well as during taper.
Going up a size or two for drills is also very beneficial to emphasize proper technique & to work on maximum distance per stroke.
