Pullbuoy swimming drills

    For the first time since I took lessons ages ago, I did a few sets today with a pullbuoy between my legs, primarily because I had a run planned alos this evening and figure that I'd concentrate on my arm stroke and keep my legs relatively fresh.

    I noticed while doing the drills that my body was much higher and flatter in the water than if I swim without one. I was, or at least felt, much faster through the water also.

    Is this normally the case or is it just that my technique leaves me lying lower in the water? I've only really swam for a short while and I know that my technique will need a lot of work over the winter but was wondering igf this is a sign of an obvious fault - not enough kick, poor body rotation, etc.

    I'm not an expert but here is my opinion.
    Keep doing it and try to replicate the feeling without the pull buoy.
    Do some sets that alternate between pulling and swimming.
    Maybe 400M pull 200M swim?
    Maybe mix with a kick board.
    3X(100M pull, 100M kick, 100M swim-HARD)
