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!
John

Eh? I'm guessing he means, finding ways to reduce the amount of energy expended to swim at a given speed. Here is an example of "easier speed". Swim a 200 free, kicking hard but with your hips 2 ft underwater. Then do it with moderate kick, but with a streamlined body position. You exert less effort, and you still swim faster.
