How to Choose the Right Paddle

• 
  

  What size is right for you?

  When choosing paddles, it’s not about the size of your hand — it’s about how much you swim and how strong you are.

  • More power = bigger paddles.
    The stronger and more experienced you are in the water, the more surface area you can handle without compromising technique.

  • Train big, race smart.
    Many athletes use larger paddles in training to build strength and improve stroke mechanics — and then switch to a slightly smaller size on race day for a faster, more controlled push.

  What material is the best for you?

  Both materials work — the key is knowing what you want out of your session or race.

  Plastic Blades

  • Durable and forgiving — great for everyday training and all levels.

  • Slightly more flexible, which puts less strain on shoulders.

  • Ideal for longer sessions, beginners, or athletes building volume.

  Carbon Blades

  • Ultralight and extremely stiff for a sharp, powerful catch.

  • Minimal flex means more direct power transfer = more speed.

  • Floats in the water, easy to handle during swimrun.

  • Best for experienced swimmers or race-day performance.
