Swim paddles suggestion/recommendation?

I like my swim gloves http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/1118.htm

Talk about a good muscle burn when using them.

Others with more experience with paddles will chime in but something I have often heard is that you need to be very careful with paddles as they can cause all kinds of muscle problems if used to much, too soon. They can really torque your muscles and cause some downtime to heal.

Congrats on hooking up with a Master Swim program - awesome way to improve your stroke.  Make sure that they know your goals involve triathlon swimming (long distance endurance with enough for the bike + run) and not short distance sprints (e.g. 100m hammer ballstothewall freestyle).  The difference is focus on efficiency of the stroke vs. powering the arm turn over.

I'd suggest going with hand paddles rather than any sort of glove.  Paddles were originally used to help fine tune technique but it's common for people to think they are for strength training.  To a degree they can be used to develop strength but you need to be careful.  Most paddles today have a bunch of straps to hold them in place and that really defeats the purpose.  When you get them I'd encourage you to use only a single finger loop on each hand...nothing for your thumb or wrist.  This will hold the paddle to your hand but make you use proper hand position on entry and recovery.  Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.  If you aren't using the proper technique the paddle will flop all around or get knocked off your hand completely.  As for picking the right paddle, I'm not sure it matters much.  I use these Speedos and like them...not too big and have some contour to fit your hand.  Again, ignore the extra straps and just use the single finger loop.

I'm taking a swim class geared for triathletes and we are using Finis Freestyler paddles. They are made for only freestyle and if you put your hands incorrectly in the water or pull wrong, they sort of force you to do it correctly. We do drills like 100 yds with them, and then 100 yds without to help us learn the correct hand position for our pull. I really like them for that.

I found them at a good price a sportsbasement.com
