I am working out in a pool that does not have blocks, so obviously I time myslef from a push start.My question is:what should I expect my times to be if I start from blocks vs. push off the wall, what is the time difference between the two?

How deep to come off the wall is a struggle for me too. I'm not the best flip turner around so I come off at different depths. Sometimes, I'm at the surface right away. More often I come off so deep that I see submarines next to me. (A yellow one with four British guys looking at me?)
It's my understanding that the push-off and streamline is best done about 18-24 inches below the surface - just deep enough to get below most of the turbulence at the surface. There is less drag that way. I know that when I come off at about that depth, my turn feels the most efficient.
Of course, when doing *** turn, I like to come off a little bit deeper so I can keep that long push-off/pull down going longer. Is that right way? It feels like the right way - but if you're out their Wayne, I'd appreciate your input.
