Achieve perfect balance with our SSA Exclusive Hand Paddles. These are specialised flotation aids designed to keep young swimmers safe and upright. You can strap them to the upper arm or the wrist, though we recommend the wrist for better stability. They are the ideal tool for learning breaststroke without tipping over.

Stability and Safety for Young Swimmers
Learning to swim is all about balance. While a back float provides excellent lift, it can sometimes be hard for beginners to stay steady. Our SSA Hand Paddles are the perfect solution. By adding buoyancy to the hands, they create a stable “tripod” effect in the water. This prevents the child from rolling over and helps them float upright with confidence.
Flexible Placement
Wrist or Arm These paddles are designed to be versatile. You can strap them to the upper arm like traditional arm bands, or tie them near the wrist. At our academy, we prefer the wrist position. Placing the buoyancy near the hands gives the child better leverage and keeps their hands high in the water. This setup is comfortable and allows for full movement of the arms.
The Best Way to Learn Breaststroke
These paddles are a secret weapon for teaching breaststroke. Because they float, they encourage the correct “scoop” motion and help the head stay above water for breathing. This makes the learning process much faster and less frustrating for the student.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your paddles last for years, simple care is required.
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse the paddles with fresh water after every lesson to remove chlorine or salt.
- Dry Properly: Allow them to air dry in a cool, shaded area.
