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.

Question about fistgloves.I do fist swimming drills often,but figured I could make a fist for free without paying for gloves.Am I missing something?
Essentially, you are correct, however, two points to mention:
1) When you make a fist you must tense your muscles to keep your fist closed. With fistgloves you can pretty much relax your muscles and the fistglove will keep your hand closed. It makes it easier to concentrate on whatever you are working on.
2) Having your hand covered like that really takes away most of the sense of feeling for the water, unlike with a closed fist. (It's also easier to "cheat" with a closed fist.) When you take it off, it feels like your hands are 3 times their normal size and the feel for the water is amazing.
I really love the things.
