Here is an old one of me swimming. It was taken just after a knee replacement and I was not able to push off the the wall. That pool is 75 feet wide at that point and it took 16 seconds to cross the pool. www.youtube.com/watch
I have posted this before. I am open to critique. I do not like the broken wrist recovery with the left hand.
Chuckie and I will be in Mexico in 3 weeks. Chuckie and I love Mexico.
You sure do lift your head. My coach says that I do the same thing, like I'm sighting in an OW race. (Hey, coach: Do you mean that I look like Kirk here?) Maybe concentrate on keeping one eye under water when you breathe?
Also you lift your head out of the turns (another thing I hear myself, and which is hard not to do when you practice in a crowded pool). You would get out farther past the flags without any more effort or less air if you kept your ears right between your arms until that first pull.
