although I measure my hand as instruct and order the proper size -lrb- small -rrb- , I would have prefer a smaller glove -lrb- I know my finger be short , but the whole glove seem too large -rrb- . I wear the glove today for my workout and really like the resistance it add . better arm workout be a great deal for I ! plus I can relax my hand when use these glove rather than have to cup they or try to hold my finger taut in the stroke . for background , I be swim for fitness and to rehab from a knee injury . I think the glove would be great when I be sculling -lrb- and they be ! -rrb- . I can see that when I be able to swim crawl stroke , these glove will facilitate my forward momentum .
