Description
xThe webbed finger design increases water resistance with every stroke and arm movement. Flexible webbing means natural hand motion is preserved throughout your session. You work harder without sacrificing comfort or range of movement.
Unlike rigid hand paddles, these gloves distribute resistance more evenly across the hand and wrist. That makes them a practical choice for swimmers managing joint sensitivity or recovering from upper-body strain. You still get a genuine upper-body workout with a lower-impact load.
The wrist closure can be tightened or loosened to suit your hand size and preference. A secure fit prevents the gloves from shifting during aqua aerobics or training drills. This keeps your focus on the exercise rather than readjusting your kit.

Hand paddles are typically rigid and can place significant strain on the wrists and shoulders. These Aquatic Fitness Gloves use flexible webbing to add resistance in a more forgiving way, helping to minimise pressure on your joints while still providing a genuine upper-body workout.
Yes, they are specifically designed for aqua aerobics as well as general swim training. The webbed fingers increase resistance during arm movements, and the adjustable wrist closure keeps them securely in place throughout a class.
Refer to our Speedo Aqua Gloves Size Guide for hand measurements and sizing guidance to help you select the best fit.
They are primarily intended for aqua aerobics and resistance-based training rather than competitive lap swimming. The added water resistance they create would slow stroke efficiency, so they are best suited to fitness and conditioning work rather than technique or speed sessions.

Allens Swimwear is a family-run business founded in 1976 by Dennis Allen and his daughter Linda Beal. It started from a genuine need. “With 2 swimmers in the family it was often difficult to find the right kit, so dad and I took the plunge and started selling to local swimmers at our local pool in Kingsbury out of a suitcase and we’ve never looked back.” Today, Linda, her husband Richard, and three of their children Danny, Will and Jenna still run the business together. The suitcase may be long gone, but the founding principle of helping swimmers get the right kit remains exactly the same.

Size chart
The Speedo Aqua Gloves are durable neoprene webbed gloves designed for aqua aerobics and resistance training sessions. The webbed design increases water resistance to improve upper body strength, while delivering a low-impact workout that minimises pressure on the joints. Sizing is based on palm width.
Shop Speedo Aqua Gloves →Use a soft tape measure and take all measurements directly against the skin.
If between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit. Neoprene has a degree of stretch and will ease slightly with wear.
| Size | Palm Width (cm) | Palm Width (inches) | Length — Flat (cm) | Length — Flat (inches) | Wrist Width — Flat (cm) | Wrist Width — Flat (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 8 cm | 3.14" | 20.5 cm | 8.07" | 7.5 cm | 2.95" |
| M | 8.5 cm | 3.34" | 22 cm | 8.66" | 8 cm | 3.15" |
| L | 9–9.5 cm | 3.54–3.74" | 23.5 cm | 9.25" | 8.5 cm | 3.35" |
| XL | 10–10.5 cm | 3.93–4.13" | 25 cm | 9.84" | 9 cm | 3.54" |
Palm width is the primary sizing measurement. Length and wrist width are garment measurements taken flat.
Measure across the widest part of your palm just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and match to the palm width column in the size table above. Use the flat length and wrist width measurements as a secondary check. If between sizes, size up for comfort.
Aqua gloves are worn like a glove and fit around the hand, whereas hand paddles strap over the palm and fingers. Aqua gloves are generally easier to put on and provide a less intense level of resistance, making them well suited to aqua aerobics and lower-impact resistance training. Hand paddles tend to provide more resistance and are more commonly used by competitive swimmers for stroke training.
The Speedo Aqua Gloves are designed primarily for aqua aerobics and resistance training rather than lap swimming. They can be used during pool resistance sets but are most effective in water-based fitness classes and low-impact training environments where the webbed resistance is used to work the upper body.
Yes. The Speedo Aqua Gloves are specifically designed to deliver a low-impact upper body workout that minimises loading on the joints. The water resistance provided by the webbing builds strength without the repetitive impact of land-based exercise, making them popular with swimmers and fitness participants who need to protect their joints during training.
Rinse thoroughly in cold fresh water after every session to remove chlorine and salt. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not tumble dry, machine wash on a hot cycle, or leave compressed in a bag when wet, as this can cause the neoprene to deteriorate more quickly.
