What sets Vélocité apart?
Shoulder-safe by design
Sized close to your hand: enough resistance to build real strength, not so much that it overloads your shoulder joint. Train harder for longer without the injury risk.
Instant technique feedback
The moment your catch drops or your hand angle is off, you feel it. Every set teaches your body something instead of just adding yardage.
Built for speed and endurance
Builds pulling power and stroke efficiency together, not one at the cost of the other. Used by triathletes and squad swimmers training for real results.
Athlete-tested, Swiss-designed
Created by national-level Swiss open water swimmers. Not gear for the sake of gear: it's in the kit bag at every training session.

Frequently asked questions
Are paddles good for beginners?
Yes, with caution. Start with a smaller size that matches your hand and focus on technique, not power. That's the exact gap Vélocité's balanced sizing is built to close.
How often should I train with paddles?
Most swimmers use them 1–2 times a week during technique or power sets. They're a supplement to your training, not a replacement for it.
Can paddles cause shoulder injuries?
Only if they're oversized or used incorrectly. Prioritise technique over force, start with shorter sets, and size down if you feel any shoulder discomfort.
Will paddles actually help me swim faster?
Indirectly, yes. They build pulling strength and sharpen your catch, and both carry over to a faster, more efficient stroke once you take them off.
Do triathletes use swim paddles too?
Absolutely. With limited swim volume in tri training, paddles make each session count more by building strength and endurance faster.
Warm-up or main set?
Main sets and technique drills, not warm-up. Save warm-up for mobility and feel for the water before adding resistance.
