Hi !
I have found that for me the most useful tool for improving my butterfly is videotaping myself and comparing it to youtube videos of great butterflyers like Phelps, Sjostrom etc ...
The problem is the pool where i train doesn't allow cameras ...
This summer i was able to make somewhat useful videos in the tiny outdoor pool my building has, but this pool is about to close as it is only open in summer ...
I need a pool where i can videotape my butterfly once or twice a month. I won't actually train there - i have a pool for that already. I'm in South Brooklyn but i would be willing to drive probably up to about 50 miles to videotape myself swimming.
Anybody know such a pool ?
PS: i would prefer a pool that's at least 20 meters long and 6 feet deep, but really, any pool where i could do a few dolphin kicks followed by a few stroke cycles of fly and record it.
Thanks in advance.
No one cares at the Riverdale Y (Bronx) but the light is pretty bad here and most of my videos have been kind of dark. It's crowded except for 5:30 am.
you have given me some hope. there is Shorefront Y only 10 minutes away from me ( i used to be a member there in high school, but there were no digital cameras then ).
have you done your recordings during "men only" hours ? my local Y has women's only hours but i don't think it has men only hours.
my guess for no recording policies is maybe women object to being recorded by men or to having their children recorded - i dunno, although, today these things get more complicated =(
PS: dark is OK. my recording equipment is reasonably capable in low light, as long as there is any light at all ( e.g. will not work in the woods at night ).
