Regular 206 Evansville, Indiana | Subject: RE: Pool breakthroughs!! Had a good day :) I remember when I finally had my breakthrough. Took me a month of swimming everyday M-F, but man did it feel AMAZING once it finally happened! Once you have that breakthrough then you can really work on increasing speed. Congrats! |

| 1660 | Subject: RE: Pool breakthroughs!! Had a good day :) That's a solid improvement - good work! I'm, alas, still awaiting my breakthrough on swimming despite ramping up my swimming a lot from where I used to be. Haven't improved barely at all after 3 weeks of nearly 15k/week, and still hoping for the best.... |

Regular 1893 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Pool breakthroughs!! Had a good day :) There's actually one thing that I think it's helping a lot and that it's I'm picturing swimming with my back muscles as opposed to my biceps (huge muscle vs. tiny little muscles) per my coach's suggestion so whenever I'm swimming I picture my back muscles activating. I'm huge into that kind of visualization, I picture my quads and hams working while I bike, for instance. For the 800 I asked to be put on the next lane over for fast swimming motivation and she said the person in my lane was swimming fast enough and I told her oh ye faithless and she told me to keep up with him and I did I don't know how and my fastest 800 ever lol In other words, I have no idea how I did it I'm oppositional, if someone thinks I can't go as fast as someone, I do lol Edited by GatorDeb 2013-07-24 2:25 AM |

Regular 1893 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Pool breakthroughs!! Had a good day :) The whole swim with your back conversation came up because I'm starting to do a fsater turnover, I tend to pause at the top of the catch and don't go through the water as quickly as others, and I told her my arms hurt because of the harder pushing, and that's when she said to swim with the back. And my arms now barely hurt and I'm going faster! |

Shane More than likely not, but sometimes it takes time or other things clicking first for something to click |
