Ok, picture this. You get to the pool and it's empty. You think to yourself, this is gonna be a great swim, especially since the rest of my day as been not so great. Then when you finally get into the water, you push off and begin swimming when something amazing happens. Now picture this. This amazing thing is comparable only to you first day in the pool.....every! You realize that you are going to have an off day. This is what happened to me today. My breastroke was making waves so big you could body surf...My fly was like trying to watch a chipmunk do an IM (not that my fly has ever been good, but today was especially bad meaning it was the thing of nightmares), my free was horrible! The only thing that seemed to be going right was my backstroke. So anyways, I was looking for what people do to get over their bad days? I just reverted back to very elementary drills and tried to float (yes it was that bad I was sinking like I was made of lead). What do you do on your off days? Do you finish your workout, leave immediatly and hope that no one noticed, or stay extra and try to make the best of it? Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

Ok kind of a technique question now. So then when my hands are almost out in front then my head should be down, or going back down, and my hips should be going up, while pushing my legs and chest down right? So that by the end of the stroke my body is in like a pike position, head and chest down, hips and butt up, and legs down with my hands out in front right? So then when it's time to stroke again I can "push" my chest up, pull my hands back and let my legs kick from the wave motion. (Did any of that description make sense, I hope it did cuz I need some hlep here) This is how I generally try to do fly. If this is wrong would someone PLEASE tell me the right timing and correct way to have my limbs in relation to my other limbs! Thanx a million!!
