Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dropping from a 1:13 to a 1:09 in the 100 *** stroke. I try to make my strokes nice and long during practice, but when the race comes up, I tend to just push through it as fast as I can. Thanks!

  • good turns , strong pushoff and good underwater streamline position . Yeah that! a good underwater pullout on all 3 turns. I've been in several races that the swimmers had the same swimming speed, stroke for stroke in the middle of the pool. But the race came down to the person with the better underwater pullout. lots of people who get tired tend to skip the last underwater pullout and come up swimming at the flags. the better swimmers (in my age group) come up around 10m or farther. coming up early only creates extra strokes. But then again you have to be effective underwater.
