I ever-so-slightly come across my centre-line with my left arm on entry. This seems to be the reason I swim in an arc in open water and end up veering to the right.
So assuming that this flaw cannot be fixed in a week (time available until my first A-race of the season), should I compensate for this by swimming to the left of the markers/buoys? (Similar to the RH golfer who always slices and so aims left of the fairway to hit the cut grass.)
The course will be rectangular with LH turns, so I reason that starting on the inside at the start line, swimming to the left of the buoy so my stroke brings me back directly to the buoy, and repeating the same for the 2nd buoy and swim finish chute should see me swim in the most direct possible route.
Or am I over-complicating things......?
