Aquaflex Paddles, Pair

Same as aquatic therapy equipment. Great

I love these. My pool has buoyant foam-type dumbbells that naturally float to the surface of the water when you're using them, only making it possible to get resistance by pushing the dumbells in a downward motion. This limits the number of exercises you can do in the pool (against resistance) with this type of aqua dumbbell.That is not the case with the Aquaflex Paddles. What I like about the Aquaflex Paddles is that you are able to get resistance in all different planes of motion. That's because rather than relying on buoyancy to create single directional resistance, the Aquaflex Paddles rely on water friction to provide resistance. This means no matter what direction or exercise you are using them for, you are getting resistance.Another nice feature that I haven't seen on this type of product, is the adjustable resistance dial. When you want less tension, you simply turn the dial and open up the flaps. This makes it easier for the water to pass through the paddle, creating less resistance as you move the paddle through the water. For more resistance, you simply turn the dial the other way to close the flaps.These paddles are made of heavy-duty plastic and should last a long time. What's also nice, is that unlike the foam-type dumbbells, these paddles are flat which makes it easy to carry them in your gym bag..

I discovered these during my recent session of aquatic therapy. They are very sturdy and I love the adjustability of the resistance. If you are serious about water exercise don’t hesitate to purchase.

Water displacement dumbbells are only good for exercises pushing down. The paddles use water resistance and work great for all directions of movement in water. This allows use for numerous shoulder exercises which can't be performed with water displacement "weights". They are also easily adjusted, so that resistance can be tailored to strength of the user and speed of hand movement. In addition, they are much less in volume than traditional water dumbbells, making them easier to take with you.

Exact same as I used at therapy. These will be great.

Really like this product's ease of use. It is well-made and has improved my exercise time in the Y's pool. The only drawback is the price. It is a bit expensive for what it is.

These are kind of large paddles, but extremely easy to use and super effective. They’re easy to adjust as far as resistance, and aren’t heavy to carry around. They’re perfect for those needing to build up some muscle or those recovering from injury. You can be in the pool working towards a better swim!

These work well for low impact workout. The slots to change the resistance are easy to use but even at full closure they don't offer a ton of resistance. But they are good for easy workout or a longer work out with low resistance. Storage is great as they are flat and don't take up much space.
