Anyone ever feel like they are plowing through the water on freestyle, instead of swimming on top of it?
I know that we can't actually swim fast enough to "swim on top" of the water, but I feel like I am swimming underwater most of the time. It's a frustrating feeling.

I believe he mentioned his issue was the opposite - head riding too deep, and already knows the basics (hip's up, streamlined, etc).
I am curious if the problem was fixed, what was the solution (head position), distance pace the problem occured, and if it happens sprinting too.
Today I was able to get the plow-free feeling, but this required use of my new front-mount snorkle :agree:, therefore making me think my drag's related to a breathing position. I also tried the underwater free drill for a contrasting (total submersion) high drag sensation.
I have a fast, shallow kick. I keep my head neutral, but it feels like I am swimming uphill so my @ss is probably too low.
