My practice time was even slower than my guessed Seed time (47.9 free and 54.5 ***), so I am pretty happy with my swim, now I know what to improve as well! I also learned that I do better without a sprint warm up, slow swim is good for me....
I'll try to figure out how to put videos on Youtube for you to critique. :fish2:
Thank you all for all your support and for pushing me into going to Nationals when I really needed it!!!! Too bad I didn't have a chance to meet people "in person", maybe next time!
Thank you all again!

good freestyle kick. Thanks!
i wanted to go but 'houston in august' made me think twice. I know exactly what you mean!!! :lol:
looks like a nice pool, it has lines even on the outside lanes. It was an ok pool, an old pool....the water was a bit worm but what to expect when the air temp is 108F? :whiteflag: The water had this chemical that made it taste salty, not my favorite, but then again I didn't end up smelling like chlorine for the rest of the day. :D
On your 50 BR,you are way too shallow on the start and then you start to pull too soon. I think if you went deeper and glided more you would be faster with less effort. Thank you, I'll add that to my list of things I need to work on!
On the stroke,I really like your pull,your body undulation and your timing. Thank you very much!
You are raising your head a little too much when you breath and that gives you too much up and down motion in my opinion. I know, that's my ongoing battle...:frustrated:
Lastly,I can't be sure,but it looks to me that the initial motion of your kick,after the catch is slightly out,instead of back.If so this gives you less power and slows the kick. That's what it is!!!!!! :doh:Thank you very much! I'll work on that!!!!!!!
Congratulation on taking the plunge:bouncing:.You have an above average breaststroke and with a little work you can go faster. Thank you, you are very kind!!!!:drink:
