In the pool again today. Too little sleep though as the kids went back to school yesterday. Took awhile to get into the rhythm of it, but after awhile I managed to find a rhythm, even if it was executed with a bit rubato. It was hard to concentrate on my form, and I noticed a big difference when I did. Gotta keep my torso straightish, keep my leg retraction smooth and streamlined, and make sure my kick doesn't execute too close to the surface (amongst other things).
Managed a couple of lengths front crawl, but it wasn't easy at all this morning. My rotation is a little better, but I'm still struggling to find a rhythm I can maintain, and it seems much more critical in front crawl than breast stoke, though I thought it was hard in breast stroke until I got the hang of it. I'm at least managing to get my head rotation for breathing more like a rotation and less like a bob, so that's good. I can feel my whole lower half sink when I raise my head, so it's not hard to realise when I'm doing it poorly!
