Hey, just here to ask a few questions before my swim meet tonight, I've noticed something. When I went my recent best time this past week, my first 50 was completely relaxed and my closing 50 was strained. I went 8 seconds slower during the second 50.
Is it possible that slowing down my stroke and making myself move through the water cleaner, more of a streamline?
I've been trying it in practice but I'm really having troubles finding the sweet spot in terms of stroke count to pull strength, and how I should position myself to produce the least drag.
I would really appreciate some help with this guys, I want to drop my time. :)
For reference, I currently go a 1:09.07 in my 100y Breastroke, I know it's slow but i'm still in highschool. My 50y Breaststroke is roughly a 30 flat, I have yet to break that mark.
My father is the one that pointed this out, I raced someone that went a 1:07 while I was in the pool and he stroked much less than me, I was turning over at a painful rate and he was almost relaxed.
Tell me, how do I fix this? Thanks a lot guys, I love this forum. :)
A lot of breaststrokers concentrate on counting strokes per length and keeping that number consistent. I bet if you count yours you are taking a couple more strokes per length on each 25 of the second 50. You will probably take one fewer stroke on the first 25 due to the start, but try to keep your stroke count the same for the other three 25s.
