I have been doing this drill with some very young swimmers. Kick on your back with your arms at your sides, hunch your shoulders, try to squeeze them forward. Rest a pull buoy on your chest. The bouy should stay on your chest or float directly above your belly button. Kick on your back, arms at your sides, hunch your shoulders, while looking at the bouy, try to keep the pull bouy from floating away from your center. Nice and easy 25's. Say, for 10 minutes. As a warm-up maybe.
Try it. I'd like to know, compared to what I have found, what this does for you. Think of it as an out of the box turn drill.
This is a drill we do at WCM pretty regularly as a check up for body position. The idea is to have your body become more "boat shaped". It's also taught at the WCM Intensive Camps in the Spring.
Good drill (although we don't use gear, just our bodies).
