I just want to swim a bit better--i.e., a bit better than myself, not anybody else. I go to masters swim hour at the YMCA where Keith L. gives tips. Today, I walked 6 miles with a 17 lb pack from 2:40 to 4:15, but didn't hydrate adequately, most likely causing cramps in the pool 3.5 hours later.
I view videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLn218BD-lQ
Today: second viewing of this YouTube video. The clip gets better and makes more sense as I take it to the pool. I adopted the dry land mimic of the arm/hip motions JimmyDShea shows us here. Good to watch to burn the rhythm into neurons. Next, I hope to achieve muscle memory. I have discovered my error of rushing the stroke, which caused me to nearly drown--I swim a one arm drill and a slow full stroke often, while monitoring my hip motion.
