After the I.M. thread and watching my daughter at her meet I got to wondering if being good at certain strokes has anything to do with heredity. If you read the I.M. thread you know that I am terrible at the breaststroke. Today my daughter had to do the 100 I.M. She was second after the fly and doing the backstroke. She had at least a 1/4 of a pool length on the two swimmers behind her. All the parents around me were commenting on how good she looked. I told them to wait and see what happens on the breaststroke. What do you know the two swimmers behind her caught her and past her on the breaststroke. She dropped down to fourth place. Is she destined to be a terrible breaststroker like me? Keep in mind that she has always done lessons at the Y and not with me.
Wayne,
I just went to your website and it was helpful.
I think I'll try more of the glide. I looked at your powerpoint from an ASCA presentation and now have another question: I'm now being told to keep my hands near the surface, but it appeared with Dominico that his hands go way under the surface? Is this camera angle? His hands look a good 18 in under. I'm being told no more than 6 inches.
I think that gliding more will help me because of my kick. I do have that feel that when gliding I go a little further (I feel it in my hips) maybe than the "average bear".
Are you going to Nationals? I'd love for you to help me in that hour :)
