    Oh - I do not care for what he does over water, but underwater he's good, and 18:30 is base endurance pace for him....

    sometimes. I know. I can concentrate on it and it gets better.

    After your hand enters the water it looks like it travels too much to the center as it moves forward. I think you want it going straight forward.
