Some lava pants might be better than multiple pull buoys since you won't have to keep them clenched in place while swimming and while turning, you can still put some effort into a balancing kick etc.This epitome why I do not read swim related threads here.
Done with my rant. Sorry, it is not you, just happens to be the post I have seen over and over here how pants are the best solution since sliced bread.
I agree with everything you say when it comes to actually becoming a good swimmer. I don't think that's what the OP is after in the least. At 2:25 per hundred he can't be having much fun swimming. He is contemplating wearing THREE pull buoys!...I think you said something about "false sense of body position"...He's not worried about that (the falseness). And he's sure not going to learn how to balance or kick with 2-3 pull buoys. I only proposed the diapers as a slightly less evil alternative to what I would imagine would be extreme awkwardness from multiple pull buoys. At that point one might be better off just paddling a surfboard for fitness and enjoyment.
