FINIS Manta Paddles are the largest training paddles without straps on the market. Thanks to the innovative shape, there is no problem with tightening and tearing the straps. You are provided with a natural and surprisingly comfortable grip just thanks to the special hole for the middle finger. The really large surface area allows for a strong and efficient grip, while the slight bend ensures a firm line in the water.
The hot new product from Californian FINIS is a small revolution among swim paddles. It combines the advantages of the very popular FINIS Agility Paddles and the large surface area and powerful stroke of the TYR Catalyst. It stays on your hand by placing it on your middle finger, and while it may look uncomfortable, the opposite is true. There are four finger hole sizes to choose from.
Thanks to the large surface area and slight "V" bend you feel a distinct and very stable line when you swim crawl, which is not common with straight paddles. The feeling of floating is so intense that it leads the swimmer to drop cadence strokes. In the crawl stroke, the pointed shape leads noticeably to a high elbow stroke, the cutout at the bottom of the paddles does not interfere with the slightly bent wrist.
The paddles are ideal for freestyle, but of course, all swimming styles can be swim with them. We would recommend swimming butterfly stroke with them only to experienced swimmers, but the large surface area of the paddles will ensure a really powerful stroke and an interesting variation of training. When swimming backstroke, the shape and size force the swimmer to rotate the torso. Very suitable even for less advanced swimmers is swimming the double arm backstroke, which can intensively strengthen the back and shoulders. Swimming breaststroke with Finis Manta Paddles is possible, but again it is more of a training element for experienced swimmers.
FINIS Manta Paddles are thus a great training aid for more experienced swimmers, whose improved technique will result in a more powerful stroke and greater swimming pleasure. The paddles are easy to use, durable and eliminate any problems with rubber bands or straps. They can also be an interesting choice for coaches who want to give their swimmers a new push in training.

Finis built its success off a monofin. The origin of the brand has been considered to be since 1993, but the founders had been involved in the development of the fins a few years earlier. Other technical products such as the central snorkel and Tech Toc began to be added alongside the monofins. The Finis brand still has many swimming gadgets used by many coaches to master swimming technique. As one of the few brands, it also produces quality swimming electronics. Its hallmarks are black and yellow products and logos.
