I feel I’ve had a difficult time with swimming during October and haven’t posted about it whilst I’ve been trying to get things sorted. I’ve started taking things apart and come to the conclusion that I need to go back to basics and perhaps correct a few issues with technique. One area where I think I’m probably weak is that I don’t have very much body rotation in my front crawl, so I’m going to try to deal with that.
I’m giving myself plenty of time between reps for the moment to try to avoid swimming whilst fatigued and am really trying to focus hard on every single stroke. I’m still doing a block of 50m reps followed by 25m reps, but I’ve cut back to attempting sixteen of each to fit into the time available.
The rotation feels very unnatural at first and the process is tiring, but there’s only one way forward 🙂
