I am a triathlete who swims, not fast. Recently I experienced more than a few times that slower pool swimmers than me were passing me in OW practices (all including myself wearing wetsuit). I swim relatively straight, though I may tend to lift my head too much for sighting. Anyway they are obviously getting a larger benefit of wearing a wetsuit. Since most of the tri races around here allow you to wear a wetsuit, what matters is the speed with one. Does this tell you what I need to work on?? I know my body position improved during the last few years (of course still lots to learn) - I don't feel a huge difference in my lower body position with a wetsuit on as I used to. So I thought my stroke particually catch/pull phase was weak and started using more pull buoy while concentrating on catch/pull. Am I in the right direction?
I'd need to see you swim to help you swim Faster faster
