Swim Focus Week

This week I'm concentrating on my swim. I am working on my form. It feels like this is a never-ending process for me.

So today I did mainly 25's working on that feeling of swimming downhill. I really think that between than and getting my hips into the picture for my rotation I'll start improving.

The thing that I find really helps me to think about using my hips is to think about a roll onto my side especailly when I breathe. I think about continueing to extend my hand underwater as I breathe. That seems to inhibit the desire to jerk my hand back and lift my head.

Today the PAC kids were swimming and some of them are just so effortless looking. That's what I want to look like. Like all I'm doing is really just gliding. You can really tell the difference between those kids who just glide and those that are working to keep it up. It's amazing the effort they expend.

SO I will just keep working at it. I get impatient and want to push it but I know that it's going to come eventually. The more I practice it the more it will come. I still have a lot of time before Canada. No need to stress about it.
