Hi, I’m trying to “push my buoy” to get the downhill sensation but not really getting anything…
I’m keeping in FQS and rolling my torso, but on the side I don’t breath to, I am having trouble stopping my head from turning with my body.
any suggestions on strokes per length in a 33 yrd pool if I’m training for open water?
Cheers
