I occasionally use paddles, fins, pull buoy, kick board(a lot) and other stuff depending on my work out plan(which I usually get from this site).
I often read that some swimmers say NOT to use gear.
What's your take?
I used to use paddles. Then I lost them and never replaced them. A couple years ago I began to have shoulder issues. I see no reason in my current state to use paddles again. I have zoomers but don't use them all that much (more if my shoulders are sore). Board on occasion. Pull buoy, yes, but still less than I used to before shoulder issues. (I used to love my pull buoy.)
