Help!! Swimming with paddles

Hey guys,

I started learning how to swim a couple of years ago just watching YouTube. And recently I joined Masters team back in mid Feb.

The biggest issue with my swimming is that my stroke doesn't help with moving forward. I was told that basically I am doing fist drill freestyle the whole time and this is why my kicks are strong to support horrible pull.

Based on that feedback I am trying to implement more pull set with paddles and buoy but man after 200m, my arms are shaking so bad even with the smallest size of paddles.

Do you guys have any suggestion to improve the strength of pull? Any dryland training or fun pull set??

Thanks!!!!
