Does anyone have this problem?
I need to make a super effort to get a foot on the pad. I'm usually under it. If I adjust to touch it, I am not pushing off at the right angle. I just have a deeper turn than most.
I guess I need to try and fix this because getting splits is important.
Any thoughts?
I guess this sort of makes sense. Faster swimmers will also have faster turns, but there's also an inherent benefit in the flip turn because it effectively shrinks the pool a little. Faster swimmers derive slightly less time benefit from this shrinking because they could cover that distance in less time than slower swimmers. Women on average are shorter than men, so they aren't shrinking the pool as much on turns as men, thus the substantial difference between men and women on the conversion.
That site doesn't convert 50s of other strokes, but I would suspect the difference between men and women would be slightly less in events where open turns are used (fly and ***) because height is no longer a factor in turns.
If you use the converter to do 100s, it goes:
(Based on 1:00)
Male Female Diff
Free 57.78 58.50 0.72
Back 55.92 57.12 1.20
*** 57.30 58.26 0.96
Fly 58.14 58.74 0.60
The converter just multiplies a factor by the time entered, so the differences are going to be larger when the time gets larger.
