Can you get fins for your hands?

Question

kinda like the fins for scuba diving, swimming, ect. i was wondering if they make some for hands.

Answer 1

paddles are the way to go. If you swim competivily ask your coach were to get them. If you go on usaswimming.com they might have some. The guy that we get our equiptment from is t&t swimming that is in middle Atlantic zone. I'm not sure if he could reliever. Keiffer has a swim catalog out. Just so you know paddles are harder and they build arm strength, not necissarly are u faster.

Answer 2

they make pull paddles. they are solid plastic and slip over your fingers and help you pull yourself through the water quickly. they are generally used for training in swimming. they also have ones that are like webbed hands. im not sure their purpose but i have seen them around. you might check with swim shops in your area. if they dont carry them, they can tell you who does.

Answer 3

Yes, I think they call them paddles though. check out www.swimoutlet.com

Answer 4

They are not really fins, they are paddles. You can order them on online, at Keifer.com, or in a magazine.

Answer 5

Kind of they look like webbed gloves

Answer 6

You can get plastic paddles that swimmers use to build up strength in training and you can also get webbed gloves that  I think are used more by body boarders or surfers because they need to be able to grip the board with their hands. Also they protect the hands from rocks, etc.
