Foreward: My 50 was a good time for me, my 200 time I have actually beat in practice from a push. Criticism on my 50, starts and turns would probably be most beneficial to me, but I am interested to get feedback on some race pace video. These videos are from the DAM SCM meet yesterday.
My times are annotated in the video, but here they are for reference.
50: 27.71
200: 33.48/36.18/36.78/33.77 1:09.66/1:10.55 2:20.21

That said, I was really impressed with your 50 time given your torpid turnover. You are obviously doing some magic under the water. That's one thing that struck me too.
I know, it's tempting to recommend him to increase drastically his turnover on this distance but at the same time, if he was happy with the time... Increasing turnover has a sharp impact on velocity if you don't loose your dps in the equation. Increasing it slightly could bring him to 27flat and even under, especially if he can use little more of this magic and come back on 16-17 strokes instead of 18. And short term, that can be done with a better commitment of the kicking department (on the 2nd 25)
I would love to see Q attempting the 100 with this 50m as a first split, with this turnover and a more efficient kick. That's under the minute and a joy to see.
