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.

Don't pull buoys keep your hips and/or feet up just like fins? (I don't know, I don't use pull buoys.) I was just wondering.
Yes & no. Yes, it keeps your hips & feet up, but it does that because you are supposed to be dragging your legs while you pull. Fins are meant to assist the kick, not keep the feet buoyant, so in that way, they differ.
Minor rant here...Nothing bothers me more than swimmers that kick (with the buoy on) during pull sets. Let's face it, pulling during a kick set is a no-no, so why is kicking during a pull set ok?:shakeshead:
