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 can't say that I have ever seen anyone do a sprint set with paddles, and it sounds like an avenue to an injury quite frankly.
I never do more than one set of 8 X 25m with a 25 recovery between each sprint and, at least, a minute's rest. I only do it once a week (usually on a Friday) and never after I have lifted weights.
It is more of a controlled sprint, though. You have to be very strict on form. It never hurts my shoulders, only my triceps and my forearms.
