I love LZ. She is encouraging and informative, and I still have a huge girl crush on her. But...
She says my stroke rate is still too high. We have been working on this for almost nine months, and I still haven't brought it down yet. We seem to have the roll, the entry, just not the catch. So she tells me I have a beautiful backstroke, if I can just do what I am doing on my back to my front I would have a perfect free, but I tell you it doesn't translate.
But she isn't getting upset she now has me sculling, but I don't know what sculling is so I am not really doing it right. Then when I need a breath I am suppose to take a full stroke, except I am in the breast stroke position so I just lift my head, and that is not right. Window wipers, so I tried, but she said I did it with my hands not my forearms. Maybe I am just a Janet Evans - ?

Does LZ go in the water to demonstrate? if not, maybe a request for her to do so would help?
ReplyDeleteI thought sculling involved racing boats & oars, so I'm no help, BUT I did GOOGLE "sculling" & YouTube had a nice video - suggest you look at same.
Hope this helps.
Did you go on YouTube & see the video?
ReplyDeleteHuh, huh, huh???
Scull, scull, scull.
In the last episode (and I do mean last)of "The Secret Circle" they had a crystal skull - I can get you one if you like.
