Day 19 - 20: Sometimes you feel it sometimes you don't

Yesterday i decided to take a break and not swim hoping that it would give me renewed energy, focus and motivation.

Today I swam in the morning with the crew. Lucille was there and we worked on some of the basics again. Superman glide and laser lead for that released head/front/back balance and then skating drills for that side to side balance.

I just didn't really feel it today. I had gone hoping to feel long and lean and that is definitely not what I felt. I felt short.

So today I focused again on releasing my head and patient hand as well as letting my hands/arms feel feather light in the water. I was able to achieve those feelings I just never got the body sense of feeling long and lean. It was kind of mechanical instead of smooth.
