My 50 BR video --Working Link

Adorable daughter! From what I could see you were looking forward when you were breathing. You want to be always looking down at the line. Have you head at about a 45 degree angle. I remember reading a book that talked about Kurt Grote and how when he was on form he looked like "a master jewler hunched over his work." Also try to get your body a little higher out of the water. Like...mid-bicep to elbowish region. You don't want to go too high because that will slow you down, but the higher you go the more push you can when you throw your body and hands forward. Definately go deeper then you won't run into your wake. My coach was just getting on me to do this too. She said about a foot and half was the ideal depth and that's where you start to hit fresh water. 3 feet to me seems a little deep. I end up popping up when I start that deep rather than surfacing and going...if that makes sense. GOOD LUCK!!! :woot: p.s. Wanna race? ;)
