Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today.
My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet

Did the 50 and 200Y free at SC SCY championships on Feb 6. I totally messed up the 50 but the start was kinda funny. Did 28.44. First of all, I had ear plugs in. Then there was a delay for the "on your marks" and my legs were starting to tire in this position. I looked over to see what the hell was going on, then the horn goes off. About one second wasted, ha ha.
My turn was also a disaster. I about caught the guy that did 26.7X going in to the wall but wasn't use to the speed and crunched it real bad:afraid:, getting all sideways underwater and popped up near the lane-line with little momentum. I had to work too hard to get on top of the water.
Anyhow, I'm still very happy with the time. Especially now that I think I can easily beat it.

I should have pushed harder for the 200 (2:44) but I was too much of a wimp to suffer that long so I negative split the very last 25 yards:D. One swimmer was 87 years old in this heet!

My goal is doing 26.XX for 50 Y free and 2:35.XX for 200 Y free next weekend in NC.
