Hi Folks
As pools and lakes open back up here in the UK I'm looking to get back to swimming but also this gives me a chance to make some big changes to the way I swim. Per lock down (lockdown 3) I was about a 1:37/per 100 over 1900m.
I have listened to a lot of podcast and swimming videos that talk about balance in the water and floating. This is something I have never thought about before and as really only considered my stroke/extension of my stroke the key thing.
Doing some brief googling I struggled to find drills that cater for Balance and Floating (without be a complete beginner) and wondering if anyone could help with some drills for these things. Also be good if some one could talk about the importance of both Floating/Balance in the water to make sure I have solid knowledge of it, and why it promotes good swim technique.
Cheers
James
