Hey everyone:
Thanks for all the comments on my videos...as many of you noticed...I don't stay under on my turns very long and I think a big part of that is my streamline. I know (now) that my streamline is something that I really need to conciouslly think about during practice.
I have always had a hard time with streamline because of shoulder issues, and poor range of motion in my shoulders. However, I had gotten much better until just recently. I think because I have been diligently lifting and swimming so much more recently, and we've not been doing as much stretching before practice that I have lost some flexibility in my shouders--thus I've been slacking on my streamline.
Any suggestions for stretches on land that will help me to be more comfortable holding streamline position would be greatly appreciated.:smooch: I currently do the streamline hold on the wall 4x30seconds, and I am going to try to do that at least 2-3times a day. But let me tell you, that hurts like a mother to hold streamline for 30seconds in that stretch...so...seriously, anything would be good.
today in the pool I really focused on holding my streamline off my walls and the difference from the past week or so is amazing...I can easily come off a body length or two past the flags...so I am certainly going to do whatever I need to to get that back to being internalized and comfortable.
thanks in advance :-)
