Hello Guys, i need help with my 50 free BAD. My fastest time was 23.39 Which i went in Feburary of 2011 and in my recent meet about two weeks ago i went a 23.60 which im very dissapointed with.
I have the video from the meet because i know my freestyle isnt perfect and i would love your guys opinion on what i can do to get better i hope to go between 22.4 and 22.7 by March- April of 2012
The quality isnt that good since it was recorded with my Iphone 4 and it is turned to the side for some reason.

Im in Lane six.. but From the angle of the video, Lane 3 ( african american kid)
You were 15 strokes down and 19 on the way back.
I thought your turn was excellent, but you could have kicked out a bit farther underwater. You could also have kicked out a bit farther on your start. Those underwaters take some of the effort off the arms and I think you can come back faster with fresher arms.
I would try to engage the kick more. Do alot of sprint kicking. See the swimmer above you. He is making white water all the way back while your kick is fading a bit.
I've found it also takes concentration to keep a high elbow pull during a 50 and I think that can help as well.
Bottom line....it was a great swim and you can/will get faster. Wish I was that fast!
