So if I have this correctly, the "sizes" are due to how much distance you swim, correct? I was thinking they are by hand size. I have a very small hand size, and am just getting back into swimming after years of swimming (used to be on the swim team in...

No as the size goes up so too does the resistance. I have 2 different sets of these amd they all wil fit your hand. To add, you dont necessarily want to keep these on for a whole mile. They are intended to help with form and resistance for high intensity interval training. I guess you could go distance swimming with them but you would want to definitely start with a smaller size.

It's kind of tricky, I'll explain; my little girl is shoe size 1, the first pair I bought her, a size 1-3, fitted her the right length, but they were tight and narrow, so I bought her a second pair, a size 3-5, they fitted her the right width, but with the water in the pool they tended to slip off her feet, so it all depends on your kid's feet and stroke. XXS=1-3, XS=3-5.

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

I use a size large. "Bunching" on the grips can be a problem, I would think going to small would be more uncomfortable. The place on the grips your fingers go through can get very tight. If your size ends up too small the grips will be uncomfortable. Also the Velcro that goes around the wrist gives a little bit of variance in the size. Like I said before I would go with a little larger than smaller, that would be my preference.

I printed out the hand sizing guide. By the measurement of the palm, I am size 11/XL, however when I place my hand on the chart, my middle finger extends a good inch past 12/XXL at the end of the diagram. I have the hands of an NBA player but that's ridiculous. There has to be a better way. It's like trying to establish shoe size by only using the width of the foot.

Funny, I never selected a size when I bought these: "large" is the default size, and they fit great!! Normally I'd say to get whatever size you'd normally get in any rubber gloves, but the entire backside of these are really stretchy and the fingers are extra long: I have fairly large hands, size 8 ring size, and the large could fit someone pretty large. But if you're still not sure, try doing what I do when sizing is an issue: go to the manufacturer's website. I still have the tag: It's G&F; Products, www.workglovesdepot.com. Hope that helps!!

they run very small much too small for my hands, which are not big at all. I usually wear a large. I returned the large for another Harbinger XL. Exact same size. I finally cut all the fingers so I could wear them.

Yes, the sizes are based on your swimming ability. If I were you I'd buy the small. A mile is above a novice level. Also, you can check the tyr website to help you decide

I'm pretty sure they have a guide that tells you palm width in inches as it relates to the small-extra large size if gloves. You measure your palm at the widest across and its pretty accurate in my opinion! Very happy with purchase!

I wondered the same thing. Even called Speedo directly and they said they had no idea what AC was. My child really wanted the rainbow goggles which only came in size AC, so I took a chance and ordered them. They are the same as One Size. I also ordered a second pair that was listed as One Size. It does say AC on both labels. I will post photos.

The Speedo website has a sizing chart for gloves. Can't remember if they had the kid's sizes. Check it out. Best bet for a proper fit. I got the medium and feel they run a little small but not enough to return. They do sell kids gloves if you are set on Speedos. Hope I was of some help.

Size chart for this paddles at speedousa.com is wrong!!! and thus confusing !!! I meassured my hand, from tip of the middle finger to the base of the hand it is 8". So based on the chart i ordered an L. They are huge !!!! I wrote to speedousa and this is their reply: "Dear Gustavo, Thank you for contacting us at SpeedoUSA.com. Please accept my sincere apologies about the confusion on the sizing for our swim paddles. I would be more than happy to assist you today. The correct size for you hand would be a size medium. That would be our red pair which fits a hand that is 8 inches long. For your convenience, I have included a link below for you. Contoured Swim Paddles" The size chart states that the height of the M size is 7.5" so how can one imagine that it would be suitable for an 8" hand??? I hope this could help you and others. This is very disgusting and disappointing. Regards, Gustavo.

Get the 18mths to 2 yrs I think its the Xl size as the 12 to 18 myths will be to small, or you will not get much usage out of them. we run a swim school and except for small and medium for bubs up to 12 mths we tell everyone to go for the next size up as they are a better fit. Cheers Caroline

Hello friend... I also have small hands and I purchased the large. They are very snugged so anything else than large will be to small even for small hands. If you get large and they are a little loose( which I doubt because you can secured them with the Velcro straps) you can always add one tape wrap around your hands before you put this one on. But trust me they are very snug. So a large will be fine for you. I hope that will help. :-) I love mine!!

I took a chance that one size fits all. When they first came in the mail they looked pretty small but they fit well. I am a 5'2" person, wear an 8.5 shoe for women, and believe I have a medium women's glove size. I hope this helps. I had a problem with overuse on my right hand from a semester at typing. The doctor gave me two shots of cortizone over a period of a month and I wore these gloves. It really seemed to help. As I hope this answer helps you.

They are plenty big. I usually wear an extra large glove and they fit me with room to spare but they won't be too big if you're a size large. My wife uses them as well and her hand is much smaller than mine.

Karen, Your hand size and my hand size are about the same. I always get medium just to be on the safe side, and I'm glad I got a medium in these. The gloves that I had fit well. In no way did I think that they were going to fall off. I truly believe that the smalls would be too small, although these gloves do stretch. Bottom line is I would get the mediums. Worst case sinerio you can send them back and get the smalls, but I don't think that you'll have to.
