Good tidings, everyone! As you can all see, I am incredibly new to this site. I joined due to a simple question I had. Now, I am a sophomore in high who just learned how to swim last year. My 50 free time went from 1:09 to 28.5 within the course of six months. Now, I desire to go even faster.r I was told last year to swim with my head down, with my eyes looking towards the floor of the pool. Now, I have a new coach, and he is telling me to lift up my head. I am incredibly confused, especially since I swim about the same regardless of which position my head is in. If I could get some advice, that would be fantastic. Thanks so much!

  • As a HS coach of 34 swim seasons, I say to ask your coach more questions about how much to lift the head, why in doing so will help you & many of the different things you are about to learn work for some & not others. You will spend much more time with your HS coach that any of us. Get to know what the coach is asking of & why. God time drop for you. It will get very hard to get that kind of drop any more.
