Note the name fitness gloves.
Those things are made for water aerobics ladies to feel the burn. And that is perfectly fine.
In the case of swimming, you would want to use paddles, paddles not only increase the resistance you feel, but also give you feedback on the position of your hands as they enter the water. If your hand is misaligned on entry or you are pushing down on your extended arm you will know it. The fitness gloves won't do that for you.
So return them to the store and get a pair of paddles, I like the Han's blue groover paddles myself.
