I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn.
Also any good workouts for this?
I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout.
I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient.
Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly.
Any thoughts or articles?
While that rollover turn is fast,I wouldn't recommend it for the average Masters swimmer,especially if you have a good breaststroke.If you mess it up you will be DQd or at least mess up your breaststroke pushoff/pullout(where you ought to start catching up with the non-breaststrokers.) I'd recommend an open turn,as you come into the wall on backstroke roll on your side toward the touching arm and then when you touch,turn just like in breaststroke except you touch with one hand.
