Can anyone suggest drills to help me swim as fast without a pull buoy as I do with one?
I work hard at practice 5 days a week and make incremental gains every so often. But my improvement over the past year can't compare to the amount I improve when I grab a pull buoy.
So - I need to be working on my body alignment? Keeping my legs high in the water? Strengthening my abs? I try to work on all of those things but I would really appreciate any drill or workout ideas.
Thanks!

The main reason why I use a pull bouy is that it forces a tempo change.
I feel that one should adjust their stroke draw and turnover rate according to the distance of the race and exhaustion factor.
Pull bouys make me change my stroke.
