[quote=Anonymous]Happened to me as a swimmer. Took a couple years to work through it. Very frustrating. I focused on other strokes/events and just kept working hard. I don't think my stroke ever went back to what it was; I just got stronger and more fit, and learned how to work with a body that had grown. What works before puberty, such as coming really high out of the water, may not work after. Training might need to change too e.g. more race pace practice vs. lots of yardage. The real game changers were switching to a new club and coach in late high school, and then weight lifting and plyometrics in college. Look into whether a different club and their training style might be a better fit, and look into working with a certified strength and conditioning coach on weights/explosiveness training. The certification from NSCA or the like is key. It's easy to get hurt with bad form.[/quote]
