My 14 year old daughter just recently swam a 50 freestyle at 24.55. Unbelievably she took 9 breaths!!! Doesn't that seem like a lot of breathing for a 50? Does anyone have any imput?
thanks,

Great video. Thanks for posting. Was it just me or did the eventual winner have the worst start off the blocks? Looked like she was behind until after her turn and SDKs. If she fixed the reaction time to the buzzer and her start, she would have been even faster.
You're welcome.
From my take on this...the grab start is slower in terms of reaction time & hitting the water...but the force generated from the two legged push makes it an even entry when they breakout. (This could start a whole new thread.)
But anyway...Lane 4 is a little smaller in height than the other girls. (This could be why they got some more distance at the entry.)
And if you really want to see a good race...her 100 back was exceptional...www.youtube.com/watch
