Anyone have any good suggestions for increasing turnover other than the obvious? Just a different voice here. I like your turn over, have seen several good swimmers adopting your style and having massive success with it. The best of all (unfortunately no footage available, it dates back to early '90s) is called Stephan Hebert. 49 something over 100m free, 1:47 over 200. Missed the Olympic qualifiers not because of his potential to perform, but due to an inherent lack of potential to perform under extremely high pressure.
It needs to be improved since speed is function of DPS * Turnover but it doesn't have to be drastically improved in order to allow you to meet your goals.
One other way to simply put it. Preserve your stroke count. Period. Then any improvement made on speed will be the result of progressively improving turnover as a result of pure fitness improvement (as opposed to resulting from a full revolution in your technique). If you preserve your stroke count though, increasing turn over dramatically would translate into increasing your speed dramatically. And that would only come as a result of drastic improvements in your fitness.
(just my two cents).
