www.youtube.com/watch Well, I finally have a video of me swimming, unfortunately for me, its a video of me losing...but...maybe you all can tell me a thing or two about my swimming. I am in lane three in the video--with a black cap. Sorry for the quality and distance of the video it was my mom's first time haha, you can hear her yelling at me too. Thanks!

  • Morgan, with your 500, no worries - that situation happens to me all the time. We call it getting "EB'd." A teammate, we call him Ellis, spends most of a 500 1-2-3 bodylengths behind me, then starts coming on strong ~350-400 and ends up passing me on the last 50. After this happened several times, I become Ellis' *Bizzatch*, and thereon, we refer to the situation as being EB'd ;). I won't :dedhorse: about your turns, but it is a great (motivational) example of how important turns are in these events. Meters, esp. long course, you have that girl! Question for you - left arm... does that arm tend to cross over toward your center axis when you breathe? Its hard to tell from the distance, but when you breathe to the right, it looks like your body started to twist a bit toward your right side - which would be caused by a hand out of position underwater. If that is happening, correcting that could be a great source of time!
