when ever we are doing pull sets my lane mates put me up front because when it comes to pulling (bouy and paddles) i'm the fastest... right after that set and we have to do regular swimming i go to the back of the line because i'm the slowest... what gives folks... how can i be so fast in one thing and so slow doing the other... BTW the same happens with kicking with fins...
Kranky...
For 1 season, I kept pulling to a minimum in practices ...
Alternate above with - just swim during the pull sets sets.

If you are willing to be a bit slower for a while, I found this to really pay off for me. Limit pulling in your practices.
Absolutely and ditto to CreamPuff's advice above.
But, also, what are your goals? If you're looking to compete in meets or OW or tris, then swim more and pull less in practice. You need to practice primarily with the equipment you're going to compete with.
I rarely pull, but I have the opposite problem where putting a buoy and paddles on me slows me down.
