Is this a good fly tip or not?

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?

  • doesn't matter, you don't need to orient yourself in fly by spotting any object other than the wall for turns and touches. You should train so you automatically swim correct fly.
