| Breathe Early and Deep |
Sequence illustrating the start of a good breath. (If you can start
it right, you have a shot at finishing it right!)

| Problem: Chin Up |
A few shots showing how keeping your chin up can turn your body
from a torpedo to a banana.
|
| Problem: Crossing the Centerline |
Crossing your centerline is never a good thing. It's like paddling
a kayak by sweeping the paddle under the boat.
|
| Problem: Deep Arms |
If you are an endurance swimmer, there are lots of reasons NOT
to get your arms deep in the water. (If you are a sprinter, an argument
can be made for getting your arms deep, but you won't find that
here.)
