Assuming an excellent technique in the 50 free,
where can 1 second be gained? The start, the turn,
the equipment?

Da second! da unfathomable second! Sounds something like this:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling
I have been working on taking TWO seconds off my 50 meter free time, long or short course. I have already taken one second off. This has been going on for about two years. Funny, on some days when you feel you did horribly, you did okay, other days, you feel you were fast, you weren't so fast. I need to do everything Leslie mentioned above, plus do a faster SDK, make a better turn (mine is old fashioned, I turn and come out on my front), plus have confidence and enough air to do a SDK on the way back. On May 12th I'll have a chance at swimming a LCM 50, and I am gonna go underwater all the way to the magical place Phelps goes to. I might even try and do a 50 fly, which almost caused my demise a year ago, when I thought I would drown and die at the 45 meter line. Take care, billy fanstone
