There's Fit and There's Speedo Fit

Rethink the pool - it’s an all-in-one workout center that can help you reach your fitness goals. Discover the power of water!

Power

Force, 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.

Endurance

The 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.

Recovery

Recovery 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.

Product Description

As the world's leading swimwear brand, we are passionate about life in and around the water. Our mission is to inspire people to swim. No matter why you dive in - for training, racing, fitness or fun - we have the perfect swimwear and equipment for you.

Customers are unhappy with the velcro quality of the swim fins. They report that the velcro comes undone while using, doesn't hold after some time, and flaps open. The strap is floppy and hangs beyond where it makes velcro contact. The wrist size is too large, making the wrist loose and prone to coming off when swimming.

"...The velcro strap is a bit longer than the cheaper ones, but still not very adjustable...." Read more

I really like these but…
I really like these but as others have said the Velcro hasn’t held up well, I have sewn snaps on them and hopefully it works. The problem is the rip that has developed on the palm of one. I’ve had them since the middle of November and I feel that they shouldn’t have ripped like this. Especially for $30 a pair

    5.0 out of 5 stars I also find these gloves very useful. Additionally
    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The five stars are for probable durability. I also find these gloves very useful. Additionally, my return was handled extremely efficiently.
    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).

    This is second pair. The first pair lasted over a year of water aerobics 3 to 4 times per week. The only weakness is the adjustable velcro fasteners around the wrist. The first pair worked well for several months before it was necessary to sew them to stay closed. The new pair failed on just the second time I used them. Fix that and they will be a great exercise tool.

    5.0 out of 5 stars great gloves for swimming
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
    Size: LargeColor: Charcoal/RedVerified Purchase
    I saw many swim training gloves that were much cheaper, but I trusted Speedo and glad that I did. These gloves are durable, comfortable and quick to dry.

    I bought them for ocean reef swimming, where at lower tides, I grab onto the rocks and pull into a strong stroke with the other arm. They withstand the rock and craggy rocks, and also protect my hands from sea urchins, stone fish, eels, etc... (I am very careful not to touch any live coral, btw).

    In addition to this unique protection, these are of course, swim training gloves, and I immediately noticed more of a workout in my shoulders, and also more power through the stroke. I also find that I am able to relax my hand, into the spread-fingers position, and reduce my hand tension and fatigue.

    Good buy, even though the cost was 3x of other no-name webbed swim gloves, I do not regret spending more for quality, esp. given the extreme conditions i put them through.

    I compared the Speedo to other brands and sent the others packing back to Amazon. These gloves are super comfortable and add resistance to my water aerobics workout just as I had intended. The size large fits well.
    I initially gave these gloves a 5 star rating. I have been using them in my salt water pool aerobics class on a regular basis since September. I have rinsed my gloves after every session. This week, the neoprene on the gloves is starting to deteriorate. Now not so high on these gloves, but would buy again because of the good fit and the resistance offered. Be aware of short life for your gloves. I went back to the description provided to see if there was a guarantee associated with longevity. No such luck. Gloves now falling apart. Ugh@

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellect gloves, size runs a little large
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022
    Size: LargeColor: RoyalVerified Purchase
    Ordered a set of these to replace the worn out set of TAGVO gloves I was using and I'm glad I did. Even though they're twice the price of similar gloves, they have a much larger surface area and a rubber palm which adds much better water resistance. The velcro strap is a bit longer than the cheaper ones, but still not very adjustable. I have big hands so I ordered a Large, but the gloves run a bit large in size so the wrist is still pretty loose and can come off when swimming. I thought about returning them to get a Medium, but I figured out a better solution: I just ordered a couple 8" self-tightening velcro straps with plastic buckles that I can wrap around my wrist to keep the strap on good and tight and it does the job without the strap coming loose. These are much better quality gloves than the cheaper knockoffs and if you're willing to pay more for better resistance, I highly recommend them. Just be warned that they tend to run a bit large.

    I have tried the HEAD and SPEEDO in Large. The HEAD is a tighter fit and has less surface area, and therefore, less resistance than the Speedo. Both are well constructed with good fabric and Velcro. I prefer the Speedo because of the greater resistance it offers in doing water exercises.

    Speedo ist (neben Cressi) eine der wenigen Marken im Bereich Schwimmsport, die man bedenkenlos kaufen kann.

    Die Handschuhe sind sehr schön: angenehm zu tragen, robust, und (dank des Klettverschlusses am Handgelenk) einfach anzuziehen. Gerade in der letzten Hinsicht habe ich schon ganz anderes erlebt (Arena, ich schaue dich an).

    Ich trage die Handschuhe immer, wenn ich im Meer schwimme (perfekt dazu passen übrigens die Cressi Agua Short-Flossen). Letztens habe ich es einmal nicht gemacht: ein wirklich seltsames Gefühl. Also Vorsicht, die Handschuhe können süchtig machen! Aber ich, ich bin ihnen verfallen, und daher eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung von mir.
