It is much easier to tell where a wall is when there is a corner. And I always come up on walls so much faster than in practice or warmups even...
True.
Another good reason to do sprint workouts and sprints in warmup.
Please Lord, don't let it be like GMU.
GMU is definitely confusing. Rutgers doesn't have real T's at the bottom for SCM. But again, you're probably swimming the same amount of strokes no matter the pool. In SCY, my first 25 of a 100 or 200 free is almost always the same pattern. For me, I know when I have hit 10 strokes, its time to be watching for the flags when I breathe and to prepare for the turn.
For those of you who like to lift your heads, practice keeping your head down and looking forward. Eyes go straight to eyebrows and look out the top of your googles. It will take a lot of practice, but trust me, when you get it down, it is faster (see my 200 split of our national-record-setting relay).
