1) benefits of pull buoy are that it allows you to isolate your arms while keeping proper body position
2) work on good catch and pull strength mainly. I usually use buoy and paddles together
3) yes, especially with regard to strength work
4) 90+%, usually I'll do a little during warm-up if nothing else
5) none in a long time
6) I have a steady 2 or 3 beat kick for long distance swimming, regardless of wetsuit
7) no idea on this one, I only do tri. I believe that all USA swimming open water races are no wetsuit, but no idea for anywhere else
