Swim gloves

On this page you'll find our best neoprene swim gloves that keep you warm and train your muscles. A pair of neoprene swim gloves work a bit like a webbed hand and are almost indispensable if you're a winter swimmer. In addition, a pair of swim gloves can improve both your strength and technique if you're training for a triathlon, for example.

Why neoprene swim gloves are a good idea

In many ways, swim gloves fulfil the same function as swim fins. They provide extra propulsion with each stroke and increase the load on your muscles. Therefore, it's also a great way to train the muscles in your arms and back. In this way, a pair of neoprene swim gloves works just like a pair of finger paddles.

The difference is that a pair of swim gloves also helps you stay warm. This is especially beneficial if you're an open water swimmer or triathlete. When swim in cold water, your extremities - and especially your hands - are very exposed to the cold. As a result, you may find that your hands freeze even though the rest of your body is warm, which can cause cramps in your arms and be a general annoyance.

This can be remedied with a pair of neoprene swim gloves, as neoprene helps keep you warm. And since they also function like finger paddles, you don't have to compromise on warmth and propulsion.

Benefits of swimming with swim gloves

Since a pair of swim gloves work like webbed hands, they also give you an extra load on your muscles. This way you can more effectively train the muscle groups you use most when swimming.

They will also give you a feeling of extra propulsion that will motivate you in your workout. A workout will always feel more fun when you feel like you're gliding through the water like a fish. A pair of swim gloves can therefore feel motivating and give you a mental boost.

If you swim with a pair of swim gloves, you'll also quickly realise if you're dragging your hands incorrectly in the water. This allows you to better correct and improve the different elements of your strokes. Since the load of a pair of neoprene swim gloves will increase considerably, you will quickly notice if you pull even a bit crooked.
