Since I'm not fast in the water, I still need to work on form, and I have a new part of the form to work on. Before, my issue was that I'm not pulling all the way through. Well, that's still a problem, but while trying to fix that, I've started to bring my hands across the body when I enter the water. I move them into position for a good pull underneath the water, but I'm losing efficiency in that first pull. So, the coach has me reaching out during all the strokes to ingrain the movement. Simply, I'm doing the 10&2 drill at all times now. I can feel when it's working, because I'll reach "out", but what's really happening is that I'm getting a much better body-roll, and keeping a straighter line down the pool. It takes a lot of concentration, and I don't feel like I'm getting as much power through the catch as I did before, but that should improve as I groove the stroke.
There's always more work to do.
