I forgot my watch today and so I couldn’t time my sprints, instead I tried to focus on my form. One of my favorite exercises is to swim with my eyes closed. This usually only works when there aren’t too many people in the same lane.

I love the way it feels to just focus on the internal mechanics of your stroke. I usually open my eyes two or three times for a split second, just to orient myself. I used to try keeping my eyes closed the entire time, but I would run into the line in the water.

Today while swimming this way I felt a lot more drag around my head then what I usually notice. I guess it is a good sign that I am aware of the water pressure on my upper body when I practice, however I can’t really figure out how to reduce it.

Tomorrow I am going to try and work on the shape of my hand while swimming.
