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

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...
I think a best swim on that day in the 50 free would have been a 26.9, so I am happy with a 27.2.
I am a 24 low scy now, and considering that time is dropping, I am happy. I need to be a 23 mid in January and taper to a 22 high/23 flat in February.
Happy today is not necessarily happy tomorrow.
So faster turnover and stronger faster kick are in order.
