## Overview

The Speedo SMAO Swim Paddle is a small-sized, high-performance training accessory designed to enhance sprint swimming by increasing water propulsion and stroke control. Inspired by the humpback whale’s fin, it features scalloped edges, flow channels, and a thumb garage for optimal hydrodynamics and stroke efficiency. Adjustable silicone straps ensure a secure fit for women, young adults, and smaller men, making it a must-have for serious swimmers seeking to elevate their training.

## Description

Speedo water accessories are unmatched in performance, fit and feel. The SMAO Paddle is the most innovative paddle to hit the market, loaded with cutting-edge hydrodynamic features for the elite swimmer. Especially for sprinters, they refine the drive-in phase of the stroke, demand an aggressive entry into the water and reinforce a high elbow catch. Utilizing bio-mimicry, the humpback whale pectoral fin was part inspiration behind this unique design. No matter where or why you dive in - training, fitness, or fun - those moments in the water are always better with Speedo.

## Features

- Scalloped outer edges to create greater surface area to enhance propulsion, thus the swimmer pulls more water during sprint drills
- Lateral edge openings and bottom flow channels to allow more resistance, greater buoyancy and increased smooth movement through the water
- Thumb garage reinforces proper thumb position to allow greater control on stroke recovery phase, adjustable soft silicone straps for hand stability
- Fits Women, Young Adults, or Smaller Men
- Made by Speedo, the world's premier aquatics brand

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gigantic; Correct mistakes and flaws; A lot of physical effort
*by L***S on November 7, 2016*

It's been two weeks that I am using this product, and I noticed that it does not only trains your strength, it also helps you to correct mistakes and flaws.I have tested on every swimming style, and I could notice that each style has its specific difficulties, but with time, they will fade (It is only adaptation: It is like a normal paddle, but a lot more difficult).Although it is gigantic, and needs a lot of physical effort, I am liking the results.

I want to buy the spare red belts from the Speedo - smao paddles, they can sell them to me, size mThank youJoaquin Berrocal

### ⭐ Sized for whales or elephants perfectly.
*by R***T on November 19, 2014*

While I love the foot paddles (fins), light and highly buoyant, the hand equivalent are some sort of joke.I couldn't believe how LARGE, bulky and heavy these "swim paddles" are. I'm six two, two hundred lbs,swim 60 to 90 minutes using the 'old' Speedo stiff plastic hand paddle. One swimmer commented on the sizeof these new whales and called them sholder busters right off the bat. Nevertheless I managed one lap beforetesting my fellow swimmer's anatomical theory.I'm also a paddler of sea kayaks. My paddles are light and strong as possible.
