Started swimming again after quite a few years off. I have found I have developed a strong addiction to my pull bouy which I affectionately call my "diaper"...... (as well as wearing my paddles). I do most of my main sets with them both on. I don't seem to have any shoulder problems using the paddles so often ...... which surprises me.
I'm wondering if this is a healthy addiction. Then again, I am old and need my diaper to stay a float easier.

I think it's hard to get your heart-rate up or even out of breath while using a buoy and paddles. It just feels so effortless and easy.
I guess it makes sense since your legs have large muscles which require oxygen to kick and propel you.
I can't imagine you are getting much of a "training effect" or workout using your equipment but if you enjoy it and really don't care about the exercise I'd say go for it.
