Using a pull buoy can be like a double-edged sword; over reliance on it can make swimmers lazy, impacting their balance in the water and impacting on their ability to kick. However, inclusion in a training plan occasionally can be of benefit. Rehearsal of your Ironman Race Pace or as Brett Sutton calls Race Pace Groove (RPG) is essential for a solid Ironman Swim and allows you to gauge your progress. This session is good for triathletes especially those preparing for an Ironman, as well as open-water swimmers.

Kick Pull Swim (KPS) was often used regularly by my swim coach, Duncan Laing in the mid-1990s. I continue that tradition because it generates success by challenging different aspects of your stroke. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open-water swimmers.
