In Response To: Rolling Disorientation (Ben Staley)

Congratulations--you and your family are making rapid progress!

What type of roll are you working on by the way--I assume a sweep or c-c?

When I first started teaching myself to roll, "looking toward the light" helped me orient myself; it helped so much that I practiced with swim goggles. I don't wear contacts, but I assume you can wear swim goggles or certainly a swim mask with contacts while practicing your roll. Again, opening my eyes and "looking toward the light" was a tremendous help for properly orienting myself under the boat. Given time and practice, I developed a feel for my body position and no longer had to open my eyes.
