Weight Belts

[MerMatt]

Hey Everyone,

So after a swim last weekend, I came to a huge conclusion that I am positive buoyant. Its frustrating to try and learn proper technique for the the dolphin kick as I always seem to float back to the top. Since I have a very minor case of cerebral palsy (really not afraid to admit it, all my family and friends who know me, would notice it if you saw me sitting in a restaurant), I have always kicked with both legs at the same time, so I gather once in a monofin/tail its going to be a little easier to propel myself. On that note, how much weight do people use in their weight belts when swimming with a tail, when almost all tails are neutral bouyant in water?

Thanks
MerMatt

I have a weight belt made by Nerine the Arctic mermaid, and it totally changed my swimming ability for the better I seriously recommend them. How much you need depends on you, you'll have to test it out. I weigh more than my baby sister, but she can sink without a belt and I need one.
