TYR CATALYST STROKE Swim Paddles-Competitive Swimming Technique Equipment

The TYR Catalyst Stroke Swim Paddles is a clear hand paddle designed for stroke development and resistance training in the pool. The transparent construction lets swimmers observe their hand angle and entry position during each stroke — a practical feature for coaches and self-coached athletes working on technique. Seven color-coded sizes (NEEDS VERIFICATION) make it straightforward to select the right fit and keep sets organized on deck.

Key Features:

• Clear paddle construction: The transparent material allows swimmers — and coaches on deck — to see hand positioning through the stroke cycle, which can be useful for identifying entry and exit angle issues.
• Ergonomic shape: A contoured shape that follows the hand's natural profile reduces hot spots and allows a more natural feel through the water compared to flat paddles.
• Silicone tubing straps: Silicone tubing provides stretch and a secure hold through hard pulling sets without cutting into the fingers.
• Multiple lacing configurations: Adjustable strap routing allows swimmers to customize the fit and tension to their hand size and preference.
• Seven sizes, color-coded: Sizes run from XX-Small (Orange) through XX-Large (Navy), making it easy to identify the correct size at a glance and accommodate youth through adult hands.
• Resistance training: Adding a paddle increases surface area through the pull phase, making it a standard tool for building pulling strength in training.

Best For:

• Competitive swim training — stroke technique development and pull-phase resistance work
• Age-group through masters swimmers working on stroke mechanics
• Swim teams and coached programs where paddle sizing needs to accommodate multiple athletes
• Youth swimmers
• Fitness swimmers incorporating structured technique sets
