I used to use the rectangular Speedo paddles and I tried to switch to these new paddles based on the rave reviews. I ordered Medium paddles based on most reviewers stating that the paddles were made large. I received the paddles and my hands practically wrapped around the paddles. In addition to this, the paddles did not fit my hand in the grooves provided. My guess is that these paddles are designed for youths, even though there is no indication of that. I'm going to return the paddles and go back to the original rectangular "old reliable" Speedo paddles.

They sent me the correct size. But they sent me two paddles for the left hand, so unless I've gone through life with a wrong understanding of basic physiology, I think these are useless to me. Don't have time to contact Amazon, ship the item back, wait for a new pair -- after all, online ordering is supposed to circumvent adding stress to your life -- so I've opted to just drive down to my local SportsAuthority and buy another pair. So yes, I can contact Amazon and see what the problem was, but it makes me wonder WHY DID SOMEONE OPEN THE PACKAGE in the first place?

Those are my third paddles and I must say that they are the best. The curve makes swimming easier and smoother but I can feel that my arms work really hard. Try with fins and you will feel like a dolphin.
