The pull buoy sometimes comes out of adjustment on turns. What do you focus on to keep the pull buoy in alignment through turns? If it comes out of alignment, how do you get it back in position with the least disruption to your swim? I'm using the Finis Sr and it has a good fit.

  • This may sound implausible, but I've sometimes had some success re-gripping the buoy during my flip turns. I'm able to release pressure on the buoy (if its moved down my thigh) when my legs are coming over my head and re-grip the buoy as it slides towards my crotch. I'm not 100% sure of the timing in the turn, I think I turn a little slower to do this and it doesn't always work - it can get worse or pop out.
