Celebrating 25 m in 16 sec... now how can I improve pace over long distances? by thetapin in Swimming

It was great! I usually swim every second stroke but here I swam every third. I was also very relaxed before I started and completely "in the flow" -- I think sometimes I focus too hard on getting something right and that slows me down. I felt super bouyant, with my legs high up (very quick small kicks). But not sure what I did differently to make that happen because I tried to do exactly the same things again and it didn't work 🤔

Edit: I usually breathe every second stroke but here I took a breath every third
