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.

Good drill (although we don't use gear, just our bodies).
So, how do you know if the bouy floated away if you don't have a bouy. You must have misunderstood. The drill I speak of uses a bouy positioned on the chest or allowed to float just above your belly button. It isn't just kicking on your back. Or am I confused by your terminology? Try it with a bouy and you will see it is a completely different drill.
