All the other transitions seem pretty straight-forward to me, and I think I get off the wall pretty quickly on those, but for some reason I feel like I'm hanging on the wall too long on the back-to-*** and I just know I'm doing something wrong.
Should I be facing the opposite wall when i let go of the wall? or is facing the side ok?
Anyone have a trick or a technique for getting feet on the wall quickly?
Any help or advice you all can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
I got DQed in Austin at Nationals in the 400IM last year for beginning my breastroke pulldown off the turn still rotated to the side - or before I was fully rotated to flat.
I worked on this flaw A LOT in the next year and am still conscious of it on each breastroke pulldown.
I thought you just had to be more towards your ***, not flat? Because if you are meant to be flat, all my *** turns are illegal: I come off the wall on my side and sometimes use the pulldown to finish rotating. I believe my coach said that *was* legal.
