Be careful with paddles, sure you've read up but its very easy to do long term damage through overuse - lots of horror stories about the place!
I've heard this too. I occasionally use paddles for technical stuff, but Friday will be the first time I've ever used them when I'm pushing:
3x200m at CSS, CSS/50m recovery
1 min recovery
8x100m fast, CSS/100m recovery, alternating with paddles
10x50m Sprint, CSS/100m recovery, alternating with paddlesNot sure I relish the idea 50m sprints with paddles but we'll see.

Also I assume you are swimming quite a random length pool to swim a number ending in 8!
It (Putney Leisure Centre) is a slightly odd L shaped pool with a deeper diving area off on one side. 33.3m for the main lengths and 24.5m for the extra wide "width" into the diving pool area.
I do a mixture of the two as they swap the lane orientation round about 15 minutes after I get in (timings dictated by school drop off). I use the short time before the swap as a warm up and then bash into the 24.5m lengths once they've faffed around.
Swimtag counts my lengths for me and it's obvious from the graph how many I've done of each length. I am a numbers geek.

Before I post in the main forum/ebay, would anyone be interested in a second hand Garmin Forerunner 910xt - my wife has just bought the 920 and I really want one as well!
