In the free relay were you the first swimmer? First swimmer is fish tailing not streamlined.

yeah thats me. thanks for all the quick replies. I was never shown proper IM turns ( i've seen the rollover turns but i have no idea how to do them smooth enough to do them in competition), and i seem to have forgotten my good ones since i was out for 3 months with a broken ankle. that meet was 4 weeks back in the water. For the IM turns i'm always focused on the air, When someone is up ahead of me or right next to me i just hit the wall and the second i hit my goal is to get off that wall as fast as i can! Yes that is me leading the 200 free relay.
Also any of you have tips on when to surface on streamlines? because during practice i can cover half the pool in a hard 100 set and pop up over a body length ahead of the other swimmers, but i don't do it at meets because i never know when I've slowed down enough to warrant it.
I'm surprised you guys have so much feedback in such a small amount of time, I'll work on those on monday when get back in the pool next.
