TYR Catalyst 2 Training Paddles

I first discovered this when a family member was using this product in the sea, I wasted no time and ordered it and my husband brought it to me when he traveled. I used this all summer in the sea, it was awesome! LOVE it. Made swimming fun, exercised with them and I didn't even feel i was working out, swam faster and really could just hang out in the water moving my arms back and forth chatting for hours, no exaggeration! When I returned to the US I purchased another pair, again in the pool and really had fun. I even purchased a child's pair for my niece, and she loves hers!

I love these paddles. The ones I had lasted at least 15 years. Finally one of the tubes wore out and I had to replace. Great product and lasts long!! I swim 5-7 times a week !

I have extra large hands and these paddles fit my hands no problem. I have used the Red Medium size too, and they work fine. The shape of the paddle works well, pulling through the water and streamlining off the walls. My only complaint would be to provide longer straps for the wrist area, as I have no more than 1/2" of strap holding on either side.

I got the extra small and found that size was best. You want your middle finger to just reach the tip of the paddle. This design is much easier on the shoulder and better mimics your hand in the water, than the rigid solid plastic paddles. I highly recommend it for swimmers and triathletes as a swim tool.

My 12 year old just went a size up on his training paddles and he asked for this ones again. He finds them comfortable.

These are so much better than my old pair. The new pair fits better and has a better drag to help my shoulders increase their power.

These paddles are incredible, my swimming has definitely improved since training with them! Shaved 13min off my IRONMAN swim time since last year!

I am really disappointed. I thought I was buying a size smaller down than the paddles I already have, when in fact these are quite large. And more disappointing, they did not thread the tubing through, but sold separately. I have found that the plastic paddles last forever, but the tubing wears relatively quickly.
