Greetings
I use a pull buoy all the time when I swim in the pool. I am clearly able to go faster, farther and at a lower heart rate with one than without. My tri friends say don't worry about it. It approximates my body position in a wetsuit as well. My pool swimming friends tell me to get rid of it and learn balance. If I could see some value in not using it for my open water swimming I would make myself stop using one. If there is no real value in not using one I will probably continue. All feedback appreciated.

Thanks for the replies.
Looks like I better figure out balance as I am not a triathlete, just a new swimmer. Any suggestions on how to wean myself off the flotation device? I have been told by observers that it looks like all I do is drag my legs along in the lake with a wetsuit on. Not much of a kick.
