I just got my video of filming that I got done to get advice of my strokes. Of course, there were alot of things that I need to work. The main thing is that I was morified by how fat I looked. I am glad that I got the filming to get advice but it is hard to watch it because I look so fat.
Well, this is a good wake up call that I need to get back in shape and really get my training in gear because I really didn't do it this last 6 months. I would go three weeks without any dry land and could go weeks where I only swim three times a week.

i think the rippling does slow people down.
I remember watching Ron (one of the faster freestylers around) one practice, and after his turn (during the pushoff) you could see the skin below his shoulder blades rippling. (Although he is in better shape now, he was not in bad shape then.)
That got me thinking about getting a better streamline off the walls, and a stronger pushoff. :)
