Which size of Strokemaker paddle should I buy? My club sells the following sizes:
blue (5 x6 ) - small
red (6 x7 ) - medium
green (7 x8 ) - large
If it helps, I was an accomplished age group swimmer but I'm new to masters swimming after an almost 20 year layoff. I'm fit. I'm 6'2" with long arms and broad shoulders.
My coach recommended the large ones but I'm a bit nervous because other people said I'd blow out my shoulders with those ones. Any advice?
Kind of depends on your events. I am a sprinter, and I use the medium ones. I tried the large ones, but found they slowed down my stroke rate so much that the speed went away. If you use smaller ones you keep the feel of the water and your stroke counts. If it is possible, try out all of them to find what you like.
