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. John Smith

  • Started swimming again after quite a few years off. Welcome back. I find pull buoys a distraction from trying to connect my kick to my hip rotation and pull. The again, I'm exceptionally uncoordinated so I need all distractions removed. Having said that, my new addiction are the Finis agility paddles, the first paddles I've liked swimming with in 40 years of training. My second new addiction is the snorkel, but I have to use that sparingly since I also have coordination problems breathing while swimming. Below Average Coordination Patrick
