Strong legs aren't really helpful in swimming - Buy a rubber band to put around your ankles for body position drills.
A quick go with some floats the other day shows that my legs might be my weak point. I was doing fine on the pull lengths, so it must be the kick bit that's not contributing enough.
Parcel with kick float and pull buoy was delivered today so I'll do a few lengths of each at the end of my Friday morning swim and see what the timings say. I might make my Sunday morning swim into a kick/pull session.

Paddles can be useful for improving your catch and recovery. If you're using them solely for power training, you're likely to bake in some bad habits.

Front snorkels can be useful for drills where you don't want to be coming out of the water to breathe - body roll drills, catch up drills etc...
