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.

One more note regarding your sdk.
Make sure you are good at sdk before you get too hung up on how many you are taking. I can't tell from the video but it may be that you are actually faster getting up and going rather than staying down and sdk'ing.
To effectively use a sdk in a 50 you better be really fast at it. Otherwise a couple until you start to lose your speed then up and swimming.
Lots of the worlds best sprinters don't hang out underwater dolphin kicking. Some don't dolphin kick at all and just flutter kick.
