https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/3552/breakthrough-it-s-about-timeI had the absolute greatest swim this morning! First of all, I hurt my shoulder last week durring a soccer game and haven&#39;t swam since. Today I entered the pool for the first time in 9 days with the intention of taking it easy with a lot of drillsen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/34023?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 22 Sep 2005 10:41:48 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:279de3d7-3fdf-44de-b124-ee3410f08679DanSadSounds like you found something that works for you.

It is very noticeable when we tape them under water, not only that it&#39;s not continuous, but they tend to open up their feet too much when they breathe. Keep pratcticing, and you&#39;ll get it! :)<div style="clear:both;"></div>
