I was a very ordinary swimmer for many years. I trained hard, but I could never reach the goals and objectives I felt were within my reach. Many people and coaches had advice on what to do, but none of their suggestions worked. Then one day something happened to change my approach to swimming completely. Suddenly I was able to see what I was doing in the water, and I realised that what "felt" right did not necessarily reflect the reality of what was happening in the water.
