Does Practice Make Perfect?
I just heard a swim coach working with a masters club. She said practice makes perfect. What she was teaching should never be taught.
I don't think practice makes perfect, do you?

There is always time to do sloppy swimming I mix it up when doing a warmup or cooldown swim. My sloppy swimming is a place where I conscentrate on technique also. But for sure when I swim repeats it is always focus on technique.
When I swim distance it is focus on technique. Your focus can be on any part of your stroke. But you must remember I do most of my swimming using full stroke. I do think of many items, but not every item every stroke. I work on hand entry, to the catch, then the catch to finish, then exit to the recovery, then breathing, sometimes bilateral breathing. I sometimes change the kick to a 2 beat, a 4 beat, and of course a 6 beat kick. Oh streamline is my focus also.
I have never thought of a perfect stroke I think of stroke perfection. The repitition of good technique helps us swim better. I don't think anyone can have a perfect stroke but let us at least work on attaining this perfect stroke.
