What makes it different
Designed from the ground up with one focus: Improve Technique.
Finger Fins
Patented Finger Fins to subconsciously train research-driven 4mm finger spread.
Research shows that a 4mm finger spread increases the drag of the hand and the effective propulsion produced by the hand in the water.
Strapless Design
Up to 50% of swimmers experience shoulder pain as a result of overtraining with incorrect technique.
Removing the hand strap forces the swimmer’s hand and shoulders to relax and focus more on technique rather than power.
Relaxed Hand
The paddles’ complex curvatures have been meticulously shaped to the hand’s natural cupped state.
Research shows that a natural cupped hand is the most propulsive in hydrodynamic conditions.
OTION Swim Paddles Review: A Game-Changer for Triathletes?
Karen Parnell
As a triathlon coach, I’m always looking for the best tools to help swimmers refine their technique and build strength efficiently. When I got my hands on the new Otion swim paddles, I was eager to see if they could make a real impact. Having tested them extensively and compared them to some of the best-known paddles on the market—Finis Freestyler, Finis Agility, and ZONE3 Ergo Hand Paddles—here’s what I found.

Propulsive Benefit of a Cupped Hand
A cupped hand results in a 3%-6% increase in propulsive forces produced in hydrodynamic conditions.
Otion’s form has been sculpted to subconsiously train a cupped hand posture, resulting in improved efficiency and propulsion in the water.
The Science Behind Finger Fins
Research shows that spacing the fingers increases the effective propulsion produced by the hand in the water. Finger fins subconsciously train this spacing through repetitive use.
