A new swim workout

A couple weeks ago I bought hand paddles for swimming. I LOVE them! The Speedo Contoured swim paddle....
I have made a workout and I really like it. It keeps me moving and get my heart rate going. All Freestyle in increments of 200yds...

1. Full swim warm-up
2. Pull only with paddles
3. Kick only with flippers - fast down, easy back
4. Full stroke with both paddles and flippers
5. same as #3
6. same as #2
7. Full swim cool down - no gear
That adds to a 1400 swim and I can get it done in about 25 minutes. It works great for my short lunch hour swims!
