This was another morning of instruction. Not a particularly long lesson, but twice I was stopped mid-set to be reminded of things I should be doing/shouldn't be doing. The first one is still the primary failing of my swimming. I need to finish my stroke. If my concentration on that one point wavers even a little, things start falling apart. Many flaws in my technique get corrected when I'm doing it right: the longer stroke gets me to rotate more, so I'm more hydroplaned and spend more time on my side, I also have a more powerful snap to the other side, and can apply better power through the entire stroke. I just need to keep at this, ignoring everything else until I can get this at all speeds.
The other issue popped up during some one-arm drills. I don't know how pronounced this is during my normal stroke, but if I do it one-arm, I'm probably doing it a bit at all times, and need to correct it. It seems that I'm lifting my head to breathe to the right side. I'm OK breathing with the rotation to the left, but not to the right. So I need to focus on keep my head down and breathing into my shoulder, allowing my head to go with my body. It's all these little things that I need to fix to get faster.
