FINIS Swimming Forearm Fulcrum for Swim Training

It makes sure your forearms are supported through the catch-pull-recover stroke cycle. Have only used it for freestyle and have kept it there. Like using it, don’t know if it will ever get comfortable to use. It does not chafe or hurt, it feels like you have something stiff on your arm while trying to work out. Which, yeah you do.

Having learned to swim as an adult only recently, I was skeptical whether or not these would work, yet they were suggested to me after a multiple-camera swim analysis. I tried wearing them for a lap, and then not wearing them for a couple of laps to see if I could remember the positioning that the Fulcrums force you into (high elbow pull). While I was given several different pieces of advice on how to improve my forward crawl (freestyle) stroke), I did notice that on three repeat tests after the first use of the Fulcrums, I had clipped my lap time by as much as ten to twelve seconds. The shape forced my arm to nail that high elbow position for every stroke.Since I know that this is an unusual amount of time to clip, I didn't mention anything to my swimming buddies who have seen me from the start of my swimming learning curve. However, one of those swim buddies happened to see me when I was doing laps on my own without the fulcrums on, and she mentioned that my stroke has become much smoother. It has corrected an overly deep pull that has aggravated some shoulder pain, and because it helps you become aware of your elbow angle in the water, it's a great tool to use on occasion to build that muscle memory needed for people like me who never grew up swimming, and quite possibly for others who have learned bad habits.The lack of five stars for the review is probably just a matter of personal fit -- I have a skinny forearm (the world's smallest adult paddles, hah!) -- and so the plastic up against my skin when I have to grip the front piece to keep my arms from shifting inside of it is a little strange and uncomfortable, especially between the thumb and index finger.

I bought it and didn’t use it too much at the beginning. Lately I brought it to the pool and keep using it. After all it gave me right form while swimming because my left arm needs more attention and not like the right arm. This helps me a LOT! It’s a great buy!

My daughter is a competitive swimmer and uses these daily for her conditioning. Works great!

In theory it should work. Tried twice and just too uncomfortable and tight

These paddles are really helping me position my arms correctly for an "early vertical forearm". I swim a short distance with the paddles, like 50 to 100 yards. Then I take them off and try to duplicate the motion without them. Working on muscle memory. Over and over! I noticed that some people here expected to go faster with the paddles, but that isn't their purpose; they're for training a correct arm position. And I think they do that very well.
