I'm just learning these formally (I taught myself a few years ago) and consequently suck at the pullout. I always mess up the timing and I"m almost always too deep, especially from a dive. So two questions:
1) Any tips for reading depth? Breaking out to early, or feet brushing the surface are my biggest problems.
2) In a race, is it better to risk a pullout and possible DQ, or just do a streamline off the walls? I feel like I can go almost as far on a good streamline as a pullout, and streamline don't usually have messy outcomes.
Thanks!!!!
My problem is in the UW pullout not while actually swimming, as I'm bring my hands back underneath my body after the initial pulldown, just before the breakout stroke.
Maybe I should copy my questions over to the "Ask Ande" thread.
