Answer:
For front crawl: your thumb should enter the water first, almost inline with the middle of your forehead. you should pull your arm down (still slightly bent) towards your tummy, brush past your tummy with your palm facing your body. Then bring your hand back toward your hip or your 'pocket'. Your arm goes all the way back inline with your body, almost straight and comes out of the water at a slight angle - little finger first. Repeat this on the other side, until you have acheived a pattern that feels comfortable. If you are having to work too hard with the hand paddles, you are not doig it correctly. They are there to offer resistance but not so much that it hurts.

the tips of your fingers enter first - as for paddles its a good idea to use only the rubber thing for you finger and not the one for the wrist because this can affect how your hand enters the water - also when swimming with paddles you can really feel the difference between swimming with a high and low elbow- high elbow is better

Adding to by aleb3234's comment, also by removing the wrist band, you will know whether you a paddling correctly. If you are not, the paddle will fall off.
