I am currently trying to improve my 500 and 1000m sidestroke times. I currently complete the 500m in about 9:50-10:10 and would like to get down to about 9:20. I notice that I have trouble keeping my feet afloat even when I do flutter kicks in between the scissor kick. I have practiced and practiced and practiced, however at about 300m my feet sink, and I lose time.
Also, when I breath on the stroke, sometimes I have to push myself high in the water to keep moving, any other way to keep my momentum with more glide, would be better. Hope y'all can help. Thanks.
Ian
