Which swim toys, if any, are you currently using at least semi-regularly. Feel free to elaborate on why and when you use them! You can make as many choices as you like.
I forget to add breaststroke fins. You can just note if you are. I have just started kicking once in awhile with them. I aspire to learn the snorkle, but haven't gotten around to that yet. I also can't keep my nose clip on. Hoping to get the hang of it this winter to avoid sinus infections.
Just a pull buoy during pulling sets. I'm not against toys, my body just can't seem to take them (probably because my stroke mechanics aren't good enough...)
I do use fins now and then when the set is fin specific, but don't use them for ordinary kicking sets because they tend to make my knees/lower hamstring inserts hurt. Plus, I can't STAND the sensation you get when you take the fins off and it feels like your feet have been whacked off at the ankle! Blech.
