Is pulling still recommended? If so, with what type of equipment and what kind of drills? I've read conflicting views on this; one article in Swim a few years back implied that pulling (with paddles) was a good way to end up in the orthopedist's office with a shoulder problem.

I can attest to the strain that paddles put on shoulders. I later read that one should not use paddles while training until you have been swimming consistently for 1 year.
