I'm annoyed, I just typed a long response and it disappeared. GRRRR ... :frustrated: :frustrated:
Anyway, Dave has a lot of good points, and I would suggest skipping the water breaths, not a fan of those myself. ;) Find the balance between water only breaths and coming up too high. You'll use less energy if you stay low.
I can believe we have a SR thread with *gasp* humor? Well, I'll be darned ...
Anyway, make sure you have an "easy" recovery, do NOT force your arms around, and make sure your head is the first thing in the water, not your hands.
USE FINS.
Make sure your not wasting energy on your kick by bending your knees and having your feet come way out of the water.
That is more or less what I said ...
