I bought a couple pairs of swim paddles last week. I’d never really used them before but my swim stroke seems to be kind of sloppy and I feel like my hand is sometimes slipping through the water and wasting effort.
Here is a link to the Paddles that I bought http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/2129.htm?color=11590. I actually bought two pair, a medium and a large pair. For right now I’m using the medium pair because I don’t want to put too much stress on my shoulder and get hurt.
The last two days I’ve been in the pool and doing alternating sets of 500 free and then 500 pull. I can definitely feel a big difference in my 500 free after doing the pull set with the paddles on. It will take some time but I think it will definitely improve my swim stroke.
