Anyone have any good suggestions for increasing turnover other than the obvious?

    I will try to respond to everything brought up. Tempo trainer: Thank you, I need to finally press the buy now button. I think this is one sure way to know I am picking up my turn over and maintaining it without having someone stand on the side of the pool timing and counting strokes. Short bursts of fast swimming: I added this as a serious part of my training last month. Why do I need to increase turnover: I have always been made fun of for my slow turn over. After a 50 free last November, my wife told me I needed to stop swimming the event, I looked too slow. She has been swimming competitively since she was a little kid and she wasn't joking. I got second in my heat. What is my current stroke rate: I will let you know after I get my tempo trainer. Kick shallower to kick faster: That is a good idea, I will have to see if I can pull it off. Right now when I start kicking faster, I start kicking harder, but developing more fine control of my kick should be beneficial. Freestyle pull with dolphin kick: Quick, I think you are trying to drown me. I will give it a shot, but freeway speed is not how I would describe anything I pair with dolphin kick. Oh no, ehoch is trying to drown me too... Several people seem concerned that I am working on my turnover. It is something I need to work on. It is a weak part of my swimming, but I promise not to forget about DPS and kick.
