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

As per the above advice - I felt pumped to get in the pool and concentrate on going faster at practice. I started doing more descending and build sets in practice tonight (and sprints at the end).
I've found myself really concentrating on proper technique over the past few years - and that I've neglected the need for speed... I did feel great tonight - but I've got a long way to getting my sprint back to where it used to be.
I've got three meets in the next month and a half! Yea! :banana:
