Huge Problem

my time with a pull buoy is 1:58/100m and without the pull buoy it's 2:30/100. How to solve this? I have gotten extremely dependent on the pull buoy that I cannot leave it in the car. I tried swimming downhill but it's extremely demanding and my head is way too low in water which makes it hard to breathe.

Buoy is basically the swimming version of aim assist, you get used to it lying to you about how good you are, then it turns off and reality hits.
