My pool is long course now so I spend more time on the wall. (A lot more time!) 'Course anyone watching me release the bouy at different orientations might think I'm off the wall.

Take a simple pull bouy, the symmetrical style, one piece, release it under water, it will orient itself as it ascends so that the broad side is facing up. Doesn't matter which face is up when released, just start deep enough so that it has time to flip around. I know, I know, I am easily entertained. Steve, we are sitting out are we?

My fins always sink heel side down :D I would guess that the narrow face up would be how it rises.

This thread is cracking me up. Have y'all been eating funny brownies before practice? ;-)

The bout will lay flat to make the bottom rise up to the level of the other side. Fins sink so as the flipper acts as a tail to rudder it to the down position. I M H O
