Reducing Drag

Swimming: 1250 meters

It is very hard for me to stop wearing women's clothes to the pool. But I need to do it to be able to swim faster.

Actually, I started working today on my stroke and how to reduce the drag that my body is creating. I did a great job lengthening my swim stroke and reducing reps per lap (around 21-24.) I also did a good job turning my belly to the side of the pool and becoming a "dagger" in the water. But I was having a hard time swimming off my chest and getting my butt to the top of the water. Because of that, my lower body is falling deep into the water and slowing me down.

But I am trying to improve my swimming technique. At the beginning of practice it's a lot easier, toward the end, I am getting lazy and reverting back to poorness.
