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
I had this problem at the first meet I swam this year. I felt like I was fighting the water on fly and had no grip in free. My coach told me that more likely than not it was because I hadn't done much actual race pace swimming and needed to remember "how to race". Sometimes we spin and our form goes to hell ...
