Just wondering what folks are working on in their training or to prepare for meets this upcoming SCY season. I'm always interested in what people are doing and why.
For me, in an ideal world, I intend to work on:
improving my SDKs off turns
improving my free and *** technique
doing more strength and core work
increasing DPS
doing more race pace work throughout the season
swimming a 100 fly in SCY and SCM for the first time
taking some time off my 100 IM; I've been stuck in a rut
doing a fast 100 back this year; didn't get around to it last year

I might do it. I've been in a rut in my 100 IM. I think I should be about 2 seconds faster. I've been working on improving the evilstroke leg. But a fast turn would help too. I think I can handle the air deprivation because of my underwater SDK work, but getting it legal is another thing. What is the exact rule for the head/shoulder position?

You need to finish the Back leg legally (shoulder not past 90 degrees) and push off on the *** leg "toward the ***"(past 90 degrees). Like most other turns, what you do in between the legal finish and the legal push is up to you.
Every time I work on the new turn, it works ok for a while, then falls apart:drown:. Like you, it only works if I land on the correct hand. Haven't been brave enough to try it in a meet yet. Maybe this season.
