Well, I guess that is a question for hand rollers. Can you hand roll

That's not the point. The point is that you should not train a roll for
a certain specific situation. What you are asking is something that
will barely suffice in a specific situation. [...]

No, my whole idea is to consider some form of handicapping device in
order to practice for a more difficult situation than you are going to
have in a pool.

What do you think that handrolling is compared to normal rolling? It's a
handicap alright, and one that you can make progressively harder, by
starting out with an ever shorter paddle (hold the paddle ever closer to
the blade), hand paddles and finally only one hand...

No need for contraptions that only mimic aerated water, but a way to
make your normal roll even stronger and better than what you need for
aerated water.

But why bother with the easy way when you can achieve nothing even close
to it the hard way, right? :-)
