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

If your arms are spinning too fast...you may not rolling enough. This is important for swimming fast backstroke and staying skinny in the water.

Lenny had a very fast turnover and his technique was fantastic. He rolled always. And a thanks to Terry for writing this article.
