Ande brings up an interesting point about the bulkhead at the UT swim center. It is very solid but one thing I notice is that it's a little hard to judge your distance upon approach. I don't know if it's the lighting or the material used for the black mark or what. But I find myself raising my head earlier than usual to make sure I get a really good look at it to decide when to start my turn.
One thing I have done for my last two meets at the UT swim center is use clear goggles instead of tinted. For me it made a pretty dramatic difference. If you don't commonly use clear goggles at meets, maybe bring a pair and experiment.
