Got into my suit at 7:50am today. The pool seemed warm at first, but after treading water and doing easy drills for an hour, my body temperature dropped pretty significantly. Brr...
We focused on the idea that our bodies are not "swimmer" bodies; namely that we are built to be vertical, move in opposition and we won't sink (or at least most of us won't) but we fear we will.
The drills were helpful, but what I found to be extra helpful was the video recording session. We each swam a length and were recorded for half of it. Afterward, we sat around and listened to critique and suggestions. I really got a lot out of this. I was told that my overall form was good, my arm position and stroke are strong, but that I kick like a biker/runner and I turn too far when I breathe.
I will try to correct the kick issue. I have been told not to kick at all... interesting.
