Hi All. This is my first post and this question may have been asked before, if it has, sorry.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to stay smooth when sprinting freestyle? I have noticed that when I do 25's or 50's fast, that my stroke gets sloppy. When I do middle to distances swims, even at fast paces, my stroke stays smooth, balanced and symmetrical on both sides. This feeling seems to go away when sprinting, esp. staying symmetrical.
Any suggestions are most welcome! Thanks!

My coach suggested trying to take 3 perfect setup strokes at the initial breakout. I also find it helpful to think about building tempo off those 3 instead of trying to go all out (read: flailing) from the outset.
