Paddles! Hooah! What are they good for?

So I have small paddles I use for *** drill (pressing the water). I've swam a little front crawl with them too but I don't really know what I ought to be doing. What is the use of paddles going to do for me? Are there various types of target goals (speed or sttrength) that require different uses? Will it create shoulder issues? Any set ideas for an average swimmer? Should I swim or just pull with them on? Thanks...

    I use them for fast 25 sprints. I sprint as fast as I can but without compromising good form. I focus on the catch, EVF and release (essentially the whole pull from beginning to end). These are always NO BREATHERS so I can focus all my attention on the pull. These are EXTREMELY tiring if done properly and you should feel your triceps aching. I don't have shoulder issues with paddles, but if you do have shoulder problems this set won't be a good idea.
