I find them really helpful for building power, I got to the stage where I was pulling too hard without them on and just pushing my hand through the water rather than catching and puling myself forward, once I realised this though its made be a load quicker, was a pretty good feeling to hit sub 3min 200s fairly consistently throughout Mondays session, especially the all out effort which resulted in a 2.49!
makes me think I may achieve a sub 6 minute 400m - I keep wondering what the equivalent benchmarks are in cycling and running - its already definitely taken me more effort and time to achieve than anything I've done in running!
