YouTube - 50m Free Carlisle 16/5/09I swam 2 massive P.B.s at a meet last weekend.
Went 25.38 in 50m SCM Free (from 26.03)
and 56.38(26.78) in 100m SCM Free (from 58.75) :applaud:
The following video is of my 50 swim and I would appreciate some constructive critisism please. (Lane 4)
My start and underwater was good (5sdk) went 13 strokes out, 17 strokes back. Only 1sdk on my turn (and I was actually thinking "oh no, what will Ande think of that!?) Breathed 1 out 2 back. I still feel my stroke is slow. I have really been trying to increase my turnover, working on the straight arm catch we are all talking about now.

I look forward to your comments.

you have a great stroke, but not a sprinter's stroke. You sure as heck have a sprinters kick though. About the swim:
you take a longtime to get off the block. It is because you pull back and because you are not doing a track start. I have that problem too, but I do not have the time to learn a track start. Oh well. If you have the time, though, learning a track start ( particularily considering how slow you are off the block) will probably take more than a .25 off your time.
Also you breath too much. But you probably know that.
If you trained for it, you could go under 2:00 in the 200 M. I am sure of it
