I have been a swimmer for a long time and when I was younger the breaststroke was one of my favorites. I was able to swim breaststroke very well until recently. My feet are too close to the surface of the water and I cannot for the life of me figure out what exactly I am suddenly doing differently. It is very frustrating as it really did seem to happen overnight and I cannot seem to fix what seems like simple enough of a problem on my own. Anyone else experience this problem? Any thoughts on how it might be corrected? Thanks!
It was a combination of my kicking down rather than back and my undulation. When my hips went down, it caused my feet to go up. So, less undulation and a focus on kicking back should help! Let me know!
As for swimming with the dolphins, I did swim with them in Hawaii but the picture is from the Mirage in Vegas where I was a trainer for a day. Most people don't get to actually be in the water with them during that program (which they stress when you sign up) but my group was lucky enough to be able to. Both experiences were really wonderful, I hope you get to experience it soon!
