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

Kirk, I don't play golf, but I should.
SolarEnergy, don't worry about it. My DPS will drop as I increase my turnover, but I know how to get it back. There is a happy medium somewhere, that playing golf will help me find.
Mike, Yeah, my left hand has poor entry, I thought you meant that I crossed under my body during my pull. My fishtail is probably caused by a weak left side (compared to my right), where I don't get a good grasp on the water and I lack the kick to compensate for it. I would probably drop over a second on my 50 if my left side was as good as my right side.
