PowerForce, speed, and strength. Water not only exercises your cardiovascular muscles, but also provides adequate resistance for strength building that powers you through even the most strenuous training. These movements are designed to maximize all three aspects of your workout and improve your overall power in and out of the pool. Strength, plyometrics, and pillar preparation are the keys to developing power. |
EnduranceThe pool is the perfect place to improve your endurance level. The water's natural resistance against your movements results in a higher intensity workout than you would get on land. Endurance exercises are great for flushing the tissues and conditioning the body. These exercises will train you to have longer, more effective workouts. Movement preparation and skills, and energy system development are the keys to increasing endurance. |
RecoveryRecovery and recuperation are key components to a well-rounded workout. We need to be recovered today for a great tomorrow. Water rehabilitation allows you to rehabilitate yourself without the pain often associated with on-land exercise. Use the unique properties of water to help your body bounce back and relax (like you can't anywhere else). Focus on breathing through the nose. Regeneration is the key to recovery. |

Fit/size:
I can see 4 potential issues with getting the correct size in these gloves.
How wide is your palm (most important).
How thick is your wrist (somewhat important).
How long are your fingers (mostly unimportant).
How thick are your fingers (mostly unimportant).
This following size chart (from the Speedo site) addresses palm width:
AQUATIC FITNESS GLOVES SIZE CHART
S M L XL
8.0cm 8.5cm 9.0-9.5cm 10.0-10.5cm
Note: Width: Measure horizontally across the palm.
(Although my palm is about 9.5cm across, squarely in the Large category, this size would have been to large for me.)
This criteria for fit is the most important. If the gloves are too large in the palm, they will feel loose on the hand. I purchased two pairs of Speedo swim training gloves, one XL and one M, for my wife and I. I returned the XL, partly because they were too big and loose on the body of my hand. I now use the medium size purchased for my wife. This pair is also a bit loose. This becomes especially evident when swimming. I think the wet material tends to stretch, fill with water, and they feel like they balloon out a bit.
I have fairly small wrists. For the fit, this somewhat/slightly important. I think the size of the wrist opening and the position of the velcro closure is related to the glove/palm size; i.e. XL has a larger wrist opening than the Small size. Not only do my Medium sized gloves seem a bit too large on the palm, I feel like, in order to keep the glove on my hand, I should adjust the velcro closure to the minimum aperture size. (two downsides to this adjustment: the velcro makes limited contact and the excess strap flops around on every stroke).
Length of fingers: I have not found it useful to make a size comparison to other kinds of gloves. I have what I think of as large to very large hands (at maximum spread, tip of thumb to tip of little finger = 23.5cm). It is difficult for me to find work gloves that fit. I have (literally) tried on many hundreds of pairs of work gloves. When gloves do fit, they are almost always XXL size, and even those are often too small. I own about 10+ pairs of winter gloves, all XL and XXL. Perhaps the difficulty is long fingers? (middler finger, right hand = 9cm). While fit is critical for me with gloves with fingers, it is not an issue with with the Speedo fingerless swim gloves. Whether my fingers protrude from the gloves .5", or 1.5", does not seem to substantially affect either comfort or function.
Size of the finger holes: the finger holes on these medium gloves are also a bit too large for me. This seem to affect the way the gloves function: a strong forward stroke seems to push back the material around the edge of the finger, creating resistance. Also: water seems to enter the glove around the fingers, creating more resistance. However, I do not find this a problem. I have to work harder against the resistance, and that is why I am using the gloves.
Durability: I have used these about 10 times while swimming and snorkeling in both ocean, and pool. I have not noticed any wear issues.
Note: These gloves may not help you swim faster. I have noticed, especially when snorkeling, that the greater surface area these gloves provide does seem to give me more power, at least for a few hard strokes. When swimming laps, the greater resistance makes me work harder (which is good, right?), but it does not increase my overall speed. Indeed, my time for ten laps increases. When I remove the gloves, however, it feels like I can fly through the water. (neighboring swimmers have assured me that this was not the case).
