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. www.youtube.com/watch I look forward to your comments.

    I am doing a track start. I'm suprised you say I'm slow off the block, I actually think my start is the best part of my race. On the occasion that I've swam in a pool where they show reaction times I've been between 0.78 - 0.85 secs - which I don't think is too bad. My stroke definately stalls when I breathe, and I definately tie up towards the end - You should see the last 15m of the 100! Thanks for the comments guys. Keep them coming.:)
