    Ha ha. "Old school" or poor turns. Shallow (so as not to scrape my knees, stomach or face on the bottom) with minimal number of dolphin kicking. Gah! What pool in ATL do you swim at? Sounds like the old pool I swam at with Dyanmo in High School.....Murphy Chandler Park. We had to do sideway flipturns. :D
