I struggled at first with my wrists - my technique on my arms was terrible and after about 12 or so lengths my wrists would be in agony.
I'm a little better now, but I still get lazy and don't do my arms entirely properly. I know I can go a lot faster if I do do it right though.
Jamie often complains about my swimming technique - he used to be a lifeguard, and did competition swimming for years, so he knows what he's talking about!

I know he represented Wales in some lifeguarding competition. and he's saved at least two lives while working as a beach lifeguard :-)
