Hi there, am asking for advice on my breaststroke technique.
I'm doing the over the water recovery, lunging forward with both arms over the water and shooting forward as much as possible. I try to keep my face downwards and looking at the lane line. However, I still feel the impact of the water hitting my goggles especially, creating uncomfortable suction on my goggles and it doesn't feel great on the rest of my face obviously.
However, when I try to duck my head and hit the water with my forehead, I don't feel an impact on my face but it shortens my recovery distance with my arms and negatively affects my time.
Any suggestions? Does anyone else experience this?
Thanks in advance!
OUCH! Have you tried to alter the timing earlier or later for your "face plant?" I think there must be a way to stop the crashing.
Maybe it is a timing issue?
Is it like butterfly where you drop your head before the arms enter the water? Right now my head(face) drops at the same time my arms land on the water.
