Tethered swimming (Improved with snorkel, paddles, and fins)

It's summer again so I took my paddling pool out for a dip during lunchtime. My local pool doesn't allow filming so I can only film myself in a tether. A bit of thought and improvements compared to last year:
1) The pool is too shallow (65cm water depth) so I find it less disruptive to swim with my fist clenched. I find holding paddles at the forearm level helps with feeling the water - resistance is great when water is being pushed backwards.
2) I need to kick much harder for my legs to stay afloat in stationary water. This can be compensated with a pull buoy or fins. I swear my kicks aren't normally that bad.
3) The tether and sinking legs make it much harder to rotate my body. It's much more relaxing to use a snorkel.
4) Cadence needs to be slow otherwise there'll be lots of waves in the pool.
