My 50 free from Austin last year. Lane 3, green cap. I'd of course like to be significantly faster. Any and all comments are welcome, and my little bro over there in Lane 6 might welcome some as well. YouTube - 50 free
  • All good comments on the race from everyone else. But your straight arm recovery throws off your balance causing your body to go left to right, which is slowing you down. Practice drills: Drag your finger tips perdendicular across the water during your stoke recovery and keep you wrist relaxed. Then when you enter the water at the top of your stroke your finger tips should enter the water first like a knife. I angle my hands palms out. This helps to remove bubbles in the water so you have better traction under water. Your left arm recovery is a little better than you right, so breath on the other side during paratice, but when racing use your favorite side.

    I just don't like to see the calf mucles and foot exit the water. You do it often and little bro does it nearly every kick I believe it is wasted power.
