I need help- When I push off after I flip and my body is in streamline position when I begin to stroke it seems that I slow down too much. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do admit I often sneak a breath but even when I don't it seems I slow down too much. Any suggestions?

Keep your hands over your head with your biceps touching your ears on the push off. Don't relax your arms and push off in a
flying Superman position as it creates too much drag.
Point your toes a bit too on the push off. Always begin pulling with the side of your body that is lowest in the wate to gain a better catch.
Stay relatively deep on your push off.... feet planted 18 inches or so below the water line. Don't start to surface until your head has passed the flags.
Ahhh yes....... the flip turn........ the saving grace....... the oasis........ a chance to start over !
