Feeling 'fast'

I think I have made a pretty significant breakthru. While I was doing 6x100s Free yesterday, I started to feel like I was swimming 'fast'. Thats not to say that I was burning up the pool but I felt very powerful with long smooth strokes, a strong catch and a good snap at the bottom and was holding my 100s (SCY) at about 1:06 on 2:00 intervals. Has anyone had that kind of realization? This was the best I've felt in the water in the 2 months since I've been back. So hopefully I can build on that and move that 'fast' feeling into the other 3 strokes. Just wanted share that. Paul

  • Why? Every one I talk to says thay are sooo much faster in meets than in practice? I swim faster in a meet than practice, but rarely get the feeling that I am just flying. my problem is I compete once every year or two, but I train 4 to 5 times a week. I need to compete more . Usually the race just feels forced.
