Fun with a pull buoy! And other no kick ideas!

Anyone have any nice moderate workouts for pull buoys involving various strokes or drills rather than just free? Or do you have an idea of what else I can do if I cannot kick.

  • I am a lot slower with a pull buoy than without. I wouldn't say I have an awesome kick by any means, but my strokes are long enough (11-13 SPL per 25y) that without the kick, I'm screwed. I've shied away from using paddles for pull sets since the broken wrists, going just buoy, though since I bought my beloved snorkel, added the snorkel in there too. I've tended to really concentrate on good, even form while pulling, and have slowed down my rhythm a little bit just so I can achieve that. Probably why I am a slow puller. But otherwise, its garbage yardage.
