2010 St. Anthony's Triathlon Champion Cameron Dye swam for the University of Iowa and shared a few thoughts about hand paddles. They are a great tool for swimming indeed, but are apparently often misunderstood and wrong sized. We spent time with Cameron Dye in North Carolina where he is currently getting ready with training partner and friend Justin Park for the 2011 Clermont ITU Sprint Triathlon Pan American Cup. During a session with swim paddles at the Homestead Aquatic Center the topic of "less is more" and "bigger is not better" came up and we cornered the Boulder, CO resident to get some of his thoughts along those lines.
