I've switched strokes to use the lats more and it take a while to get used too but it's not hard to get...you'll feel a power surge I think too.
Thanks Stud! When I was told this I did try and change my stroke to use my lats more; however, what I noticed was that my shoulders started to hurt. I guess I'm doing it incorrectly and I also reverted back to my usual stroke as it scared me that my shoulders were hurting almost immediately. I most likely need to get several coaches to look at my stroke. One of my main coaches was against changing my stroke but I did not push the issue. I'll be sure to ask again.
Linda, yes! I can laugh about that now! Another lap!? It was more of an embracing my inner AVD :rant3: rather than embracing the graciousness of SVDL. Ah well.
