My swim buddy is doing long distance swims with over sized Michael Phelps paddles. Can this harm her physically ?

  • I think the key thing in all this is to listen to your body. People that use gargantuan paddles aren't inherently doing anything wrong. If their shoulders tolerate it, and they enjoy it, then so be it. But if you are using even small paddles and you get should pains, you might want to dial back the paddle usage.
