This may be way too personal a question here but....

If you have cork balls....do they float when you swim???
And do they help you keep from sinking?

Mark, They probably still have them in larger fishing supply stores for bobbers. Just the right size too. They had them a while back. The kind that you stick the little red dowel through.

Sorry Monte - No offense intended.

I didn't follow the "ART" post too closely, and I was unaware of your position.

Mark, In the toy department they have those wooden paddles with the rubber ball attached to the paddle with an elastic string. Those balls have been my preference. After cutting a hole and hot glueing it onto the dowel, I stretch a piece of chamois over it and wrap it secure around the dowel. Wont scratch or mar a surface. Has the right amounts of grab and slip. You can dust it with talc periodically. I like it better than cork, and it doesn't impair my swimming.

I don't know much, but rubber balls wrapped with chamois sounds like a pretty good deal.

Thanx Pat Neve...I really wanted to be associated with that piece of crud art!

Now if you would please, edit it out...

Sorry, I have no sense of humor on this one!
