Can anyone recommend hand paddles not gloves that are great with all strokes. I am looking for a paddle that will help me build my strength and my technique.
I am a real advocate of using paddles for technique.
When using paddles, you need to take off the wrist strap and make the finger strap very loose. That way, if your technique is bad, the paddle comes off. If you keep the pressure of the water on the hand, they don't come off.
If you have a bad stroke, you will get shoulder problems. If you have a bad stroke and strap on paddles tightly, you will get shoulder problems more quickly.
I swim and I coach and have experienced and observed great progress from the correct use of paddles.
