Howdy folks,
Currently I am using speedo's contoured swim paddles and they work great, but it is time for me to move up to the next size. Is there a difference between these paddles and other "flat" paddles (meaning will one or the other be more effective for training)? Or does it just come down to personal preference?
Thanks

Do you ever use fins, paddles, kick boards or pull bouys?
I swim at or near race pace every couple of workouts, sans crutches. I feel the need to replicate a race pace in a workout with the same extras I have during a race...which is just a Jammer. This way I feel much more at home in a race because I swim this way once or twice a week...no biggie.
The only extra I ever use in a workout is a kickboard, and that is a rarity. Most of my kicking is done on my back since it is easier on my shoulders.
