Confucius, the most well known scholar in China, once said: "Do not intend
to be too quick. And do not fix eyes on small benefits. Intending to be
quicker, you won't get where you want. Fixing your eyes on small benefits,
you won't be able to handle a big task."
"无欲速，无见小利。欲速则不达，见小利则大事不成."
---------------------------------
Practice your breathing, fully inhaling, fully exhaling in water
Practice your elongated body position
Practice not wiggling and engaging your core
Practice anchoring onto the water with an early catch
Practice pulling slow, then accelerating through the pull
Practice pulling with your back muscles and core
Practice kicking small
Practice body rotation from hip
Practice keeping the wrist and forearm firm
Practice keeping a weightless, effortless and fully extended arm in front.
Practice smooth transition from pull to pull
Practice relaxed recovery
Practice cutting a hole as you recover the hand into the water again
Practice coordinating your 2 beat kicks with each pull and rotation
Practice swimming slow.
Practice moving through the water quickly and effortlessly.
Practice to be like a whale.
Practice practicing.
Cheers
KK
