Stussy told me to swim with a tennis ball under my chin to get used to not moving. anyone else tried this? Or hae other drills and a set for such? I was just gong to do some streamline, turns and pull outs work and throw in 4x 50 with the tennis ball. Slow at first and try to add speed. Then move into my regular BR work. Thoughts?

    Do you mean with your head above water -- BUT NOT LOOKING FORWARD, RATHER LOOKING DOWN? and, that is how you can say that this drill would give you the right head position? I haven't seen the Eddie Resse video; I got Amanda Beard - Go Breastroke, good but has only gotten me so far. The youtube video of Brendan is excellent I watched it a few weeks ago when it was put into one the other threads. In my mind that's what I see when I'm swimming, only no one else sees it tha way. I'll try drilling the way you suggest rather than the previous one. You still haven't said why the other drill is bad.
