My age group is 55-59, I have been swimming Masters for 18 months. Tonight was "Cold Turkey" for half the yardage. I survived! Thanks for your help.
Hi, I think your approach is a great start. You can also try to alternate sets - one with pull buoy, one without. Another tip would be to keep track of your yardage - with buoy and without - so that you can see your gradual progress towards swimming without the pull buoy. Good luck!
If you haven't done so already, try developing a six beat kick which should help with body position.
I liked this set when I was overcoming my own pull buoy addiction several years ago--
9 x 200 as 1 pull/1 swim/1 pull/2 swim/1 pull/3 swim.
