My trainer at the gym has been working on my shoulders and upper back.
I can pull my shoulders back now, narrow my upper back. I can even do a decent cobra, although I am 50% of the mobility of your typical yoga-goer.
I was surprised how much that made a difference in the pool. It can't be just a few mm more shoulder lift wrt respect to my sternum- which drives the chest down, but my legs were at the surface.
I did not feel the urge to grab a pull buoy!
