Grabbed a kickboard last night from the community equipment rack and saw an ankle band. I know they've been discussed but I've never tried one. Figured, "What the hell?" (Off topic, there were also snorkels there. Who uses a community snorkel...I digress...)
Put it on, pushed off, and in about two strokes, my legs were touching the pool bottom. Hmmm.
Try again. Same result so I figured I must not be pulling hard/long enough so I should muscle through and give myself a chance to stabilize the body. No go.
After trying to swim with my body in the shape of an "L" for about 15 yards, I took it off.
I assume the thing was defective?
