Well today I took swimming laps with a paddle and glove to the test. I heard how great swimming with a paddle are. Boy what a difference it really was. Not only did I feel I had a better upper body workout, but with my legs as well. If you are looking for a a great workout while swimming then go with a swim paddle. You will be glad you did!
After swimming with gloves for a long time, I started to think about the resistance they offer vs. swimming with paddles. I started doing research and the reviews from people seemed to lean toward the paddles. So I started reviewing different paddles and gave the Speedo I.M. Tech paddles a go.
I swam for about 45 minutes and boy what a difference it really was swimming with the paddles. Far better resistance. Not only did I feel I had a better workout with my upper body, but with my legs as well. The paddles are very light weight and found them very comfortable as well. When I did take the paddles off after the swim, my finger felt sore for a few minutes, but then I was fine. I am really going to look forward to many great resistance swimming sessions to coming. Time to step up my swimming workout!
