The discussion about the 200 free led me to post something I've been pondering of late.
(1) How many of you do not breathe on the first stroke out of the turn? And for those who don't, how long can you hold that? SC 100? 200? 1500? Indefinitely?
(2) How many dolphin kicks are you doing off the wall? Does that number increase, decrease, or stay the same as distance and speed change or as the race progresses?
Thanks!

Abra Kadabra ; Poof Michael, you are now a breaststroker:D :D :D
You are not bad at ***, you just have a butterfliers mentality.
I think the biggest improvement in freestyle in the last 20 years was the USA copying the Russians on dolphin kicks off the walls.
Even the 50 and 100 free most swimmers have switched to 2-3 dolphins, and Phelphs does anywhere from 4 to as much as 9 huge dolphins, depending on the race.
