Run like a kid again!
Gotta TRI
Great training aids. I have a pair of Zoomers for fins but have not picked up my own paddles yet.
I also use a kickboard for drills as well like this one:
A great source for these things is: www.swimoutlet.com
I use the red Tyr Mentor hand paddles, they seem to work pretty well; and I get them at a great price. I do have to replace the right one at least once a year, due to grabbing the wall in the pool.
My five year old son loves to race me with the kickboards, it's all I can do to beat him across the pool. Only a matter of time....
Puttin' on the foil
Does anyone have a suggestion on fins and hand paddles?
Yes - don't use them. Maybe a pull buoy, but I stay away from other pool equipment.

Don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'

So why not use them, I do, albeit sparingly, I think the paddles are great for feeling hand position at the catch and help to build a little muscular strength, while the fins are great fro drills especially kicking on your side and one armed swimming.
