there is not anything scheduled at this point
I'm just checking levels of interest that I will share those who could make this happen
there's likely to be over 2,000 usms swimmers in Austin for Nats
do you think any of them would like to add a day or two to their Austin visit to either:
1) participate in a Swim Clinic right after Nationals with instruction by
Austin's world record holders and Olympians? or
2) watch a Duel in the Pool type meet where attendees could watch these athletes race then attend a meet and greet / photo opp / autograph opp right afterwards?
Just Curious,
Please let me know and I'll let them know
Ande
Any further word on this?
I would love to have a session be it formal or not where I could get some l33t :thhbbb: swimmers to help with technique. One of the huge things I am struggling with is HOW to kick better. There's all sorts of info available on how to improve your stroke, pull, etc but I'm struggling to find information on what a 'proper' flutter kick should look and feel like. Sure kicking more will help but I still don't know if I'm kicking RIGHT.
When I kick I just don't feel like I go anywhere. 25m with a board takes me about 25 seconds sprint kicking from a push off and I'm absolutely DEVESTATED when I reach the other wall.
Even if there's nothing 'formal' would it be possible to at least have a get together on that Monday? Maybe I could workout with the Masters team there?

no word on this yet
I mentioned it to IAN and he said he'd talk with his agent
I'll send an email to eddie, kris, & charles logan.
It would be cool to if
Aaron, Brendan, Eddie, Ian, Neil Walker, & Kirsty Coventry
would do something.

in the mean time
keep doing the kicking training I suggest in the
"Help My Kick is Horrible"
and post your progress

So I am confirmed to be staying in Austin until early afternoon on Monday, May 5th. I would love to swim with any one either in a workout or in a drill session or what ever. Or I can just try to chase Ande around the pool, that should be good for about 10 minutes after which I'll just hang on a lane rope :notworthy:
Look forward to meeting y'all
Paul
