At the pool yesterday I was doing some pull sets w the buoy thing between my legs and noticed my times were not much slower on a 25y basis than I do when I add the kick. Is it safe to say my kick is my weakness or do most people do their pull sets close to their kick sets?
I also felt like I was able to do sets quicker with my br kick vs flutter kicker. I assume that is fairly common as well.
I think the buoy does help you to hold a good streamline position. And a consequence of that is that you can then use your hands mostly for propulsion and less for balance. You can replicate the good positioning when not using the buoy by lowering your head and lifting your hips.
