Its almost time for states and i've just missed states in the summer by .1, I just swam my final meet before taper and didn't do so well, a second off my best time 56.7. I noticed I had some bad turns but I would like some feedback on my stroke. Please criticize as much as you want because I really need the 54.99 state cut and don't want to miss out again. Here's the video, i'm in lane 4 with the red cap, I got second to a teammate in lane 6. Thanks guys :).

More chest press may reduce the amount of knee bend. Gotta play with it a bit. Just make a concious effort to keep only the heels from breaking the surface. To help with the chest press, remember to breathe early when the hands are exiting the water and be sure your head is back in the water looking down before your arms go in. Remember, you are just tweaking some things, not trying to reconstruct something. Get feedback, but remember to make your concerns known to your coach and talk them through.
