Today, for whatever reason, I made a focused effort to sight the end of the pool, albeit momentarily, during my breath. I think it helped me keep correct orientation and pitch thus helping my body dolphin. I think before I was just looking cross eyed into the water ahead and not really picking the end of the pool as the focus. It was cool seeing the wall "rapidly" approaching.
So my question is, should you not look at any discernable thing and zone out looking for the tee, or should you take a conscious peek at the wall on every breath to help keep body orientation?
What say you?
Fly is my favorite stroke. When I went to the Auburn Masters Swim Camp, Ralph Crocker told me I needed to look down when I breathed and when I didn't breathe. It is hard to look down when you breathe, but I have found that it seems to help keep me flatter on the water and minimizes the up and down effect.
