Did this with the wetsuit on again. This time I took my time putting it on and tried to get as much material into the upper body to reduce the restrictive feeling. It worked and was a lot better.
I find the one arm drills great to work on timing. There's not meant to be a pause when you extend in front but mine is so ingrained it's proving hard to get rid of.


I tried a few other things as well
- PT paddles for the catch
- sighting with right arm forward and breathing to the left (I can only do it the other way round)
- Turning at the ends by doing a backstroke movement to simulate going round a buoy, cracked this after a few attempts. You set yourself up as if indicating to turn in traffic except you turn the other way to the outstretched arm. I'll see if I can make a matchstick man animation.




Podiatry appointment this afternoon - last year it was all a bit of an emergency so this is hopefully a preventative measure.
