Hey there-
Was just wondering if any of you felt like this...
At practice: I feel strong, my strokes feel perfect - everything is great.
When at meets: The second I dive in (this is primarily on backstroke, my best stroke) - and I feel like I'm out of control, I feel like I slip on every pull - not going anywhere but my arms are going fast.
What is going on? Do I need to lift weights or what?
Thanks - Sarah
That sometimes happens to me in the 50 *** and then I try to slow my self down a little,stretch out a little and regain feel for the water. You are probably just stroking too fast and losing your grip on the water. Lifting weights will help your power ,but won't help your feel for the water,so I doubt it would solve this problem.
