Looking for opinions on the benefits on using swim paddles and what type.
Also lookng for opinions on the variety of swimsuits ie. Trainer/brief/legskins etc.. Are they really all that much better?
Also taper styles- I've been swimming regulary since 7/1/05 for a meet on 11/5/05. I swim in surf baggies-good drag.
I started out out 500 yds 1st month 1500 2nd month and am now doing 2000-2600yds half of it kicking. Just started sets 4X50 on 1 minute of free/***/back. Weights 2-4 times a week. The pool is a BALLYS 25YD pool loaded with noodle clingers-atleast they are not in the lap area.
Thanks and I look forward to your input.

Well, for one thing you can get the feel for swimming at that speed without the associated amount of effort. Whether this is worth anything, I don't know. The bottom line is I like the feel of my stroke when I pull and that gives me confidence.
I gotcha Kirk. I guess some people use fins for the same reason, to get the feeling of swimming fast.
