Veteran  199   Abbotsford |  Subject: Swim tipsI have been doing masters and a woman swimming behind me told me that my legs are totally dragging. I have known this but have know idea how to get them up. I have so much drag it totally wears me out. I would ask the coach but she didn't say anything to me so i'm guessing she didn't even notice. Any help would be grrreat! |

I have known this but have know idea how to get them up. I have so much drag it totally wears me out. I would ask the coach but she didn't say anything to me so i'm guessing she didn't even notice. Any help would be grrreat! I downloaded a program called Mr. Smooth and it has helped me see how I should be positioned ... I remember the moment of triumph when I found the little sweet spot in which to breathe! I can't breathe well on the other side though; my legs plummet down, who knows why???? :-) |

Expert 1049 Burnaby, BC | Subject: RE: Swim tips Practice kicking on your back. You should feel the water just around your goggles and your knees and toes should just clear the water. When you can do that, try face down and on your side. |
