There are so many new products on the market, oddly shaped paddles, gloves - I even saw this contraption where you connect a tube from your waste to your ankles so that kicking is more difficult.
I do not think that this equipment is effective - particularily paddles - unless you are a very high lever swimmer and you only use it spottingly. Unfortunately ussage tends to be most common with LOW level swimmers and these swimmers use the equipment far too much durring each workout.
My advice to those returning to the pool is to avoid all of this stuff - it will only lead to injuries.

People, people , people............. get a grip on reality !
Repeat 10 times slowly : There's no money in this, there's no money in this, there's no.......etc, etc.
Shakey (Shaky??) knows all about boorish so-called "swimmers" who show up and make it tough for gentle people like me to get a decent workout. Swimming IS a contact sport when the pool is over-crowded and perhaps poorly organized.
Now to the point : I'm planning on introducing a new line of products for "swimmers". Included will be the newer than new toe fins as well as fingernail paddles. For those desiring greater resistance when they "swim" check out our new tow behind you boat. (Trolling bucket included at extra cost.) Those new-agers with the ear-rings everywhere will delight in state of the art timing and wake-up music and head/hand position advice coming right to them through their jewelry. We never quit selling and answering the needs of our trendy "swimmers".
By the way, what in the heck does "coom-bye-yah" mean ?
And another thing...since when did "elite" become a dirty word ?
