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 have all the toys too. I use them quite a bit - I use the kick board in every work out, the pull buoy in probably 90% of them, paddles or gloves in most work outs, and fins in maybe half of them.
I only use my fins if I have a really long kick set or if the workout issued call for them (our coach provides work outs at practice). I use the kick board and pull buoy/paddles in warm ups but only in main sets if listed.
