I got the extension going ok today. I noticed a couple of things when trying to swim fast, though. First, I try to pull with too much power from my tricep instead of using my side muscles better. Second, I'm slow at turning my head back into the water after a breath: I let my head follow my recovering arm. This is wrong. If I turn my head back to center faster and force my recovering arm to follow it, I can turn over faster. When I'm really snapping my head back to center, too, I feel like I'm driving forward more. Hey-Yoh!
