Best Swimming Tip for Beginners

 I went swimming during lunch time and had a breakthrough workout. Swimming right requires you to discover some keys and collect them as you move forward in your journey into master swimming. Today, I collected one of them which I would resume as:

Unlink your head from your shoulders. 

Relax your head and focus your attention on not putting any tension into your neck. You must not feel the weight of your head, just let it float. As your body rolls left and right while swimming, make sure your head is not part of this rotation. All it does is floating, looking 2-3 feet away and rotates every n strokes (bilateral or not) to breathe.

I know we all read SO MANY comments on how to swim right. It resonates to my ears but might not to yours. Just give it a try for 50m; repeat yourself "Unlink my head from my shoulders". It might work! By repeating this sentence, I went from swimming 1000m 2:15 min/100m down to 2:05 without any effort (My times look slow as I do not push hard from the wall and no flip-turn).
