    Did they look anything like these? If so they're paddles. People use them to help with their stroke. They make it a little harder to pull through the water. They also help with technique. They tend to fall off if you're not swimming properly.

    Ya theres a few guys in my pool that use them , they get a few odd looks but nothing wrong with using them id say your arms would get a good work out from the added resistance
