[Paddlewise] Pawlatta, C to C, Sweep roll

G'Day,

I've started moving on from my stock standard get out of trouble every time
Pawlatta roll to a C to C roll, which seems easier than the Pawlatta and I
can sometimes do it on both sides. Now I've moved on to a sweep roll, which
is supposed to be more useful and is our club standard, but I am finding it
quite difficult.

 I've had a lesson in the mechanics of the sweep roll so I know roughly what
to do: - roll my wrist forward, push both hands above the water facing
upwards, sweep out watching the blade and rotate torso and knee up against
the deck still watching the blade until rolling up facing down. I usually
have to finish off with a forward sweep low brace.

Are there any clues to where I need work in the fact that the C to C seemed
easy (pulled it off first time without instruction) and yet the sweep roll
seemed difficult, I've only managed to get it right twice and blew it half a
dozen times, though granted it was the first lesson?

All the best, PeterO
