The hand paddle is equipped with a device for holding the hand paddle on the user's arm having an aperture formed through the paddle and a member mounted movable in the aperture and having an interface that is arranged on top of the wall. The interface being arranged to receive at least one finger of the user and arranged to hold the finger against the interface, the member being equipped with an element elastically constraining the movement. The element is arranged between the blade and the member and is reversibly compressible between an extended state, in which the member is arranged in a low position holding the user's finger, and a compressed state in which the member is arranged in a high position placing the user's finger on the interface.
