Wider on the entry would get more power in the early part of the stroke.<br />Don't you love how we analyze this, Steve? lolGetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688753874699670441.post-68369516947418486822009-05-04T20:38:00.000-04:002009-05-04T20:38:00.000-04:00Love this!!! what a great thing to have!!!!

BTW, nice strong turns! I think you could go a lot wider with your stroke and get more power. And yes on the burying your head... just turn a bit less.Swimming for MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129980264600591832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688753874699670441.post-17465312321098888712009-05-03T15:27:00.000-04:002009-05-03T15:27:00.000-04:00Love the music.

I did note that your arms come directly in front of your head on the recovery--and maybe even crossing over the line with your right arm. But basically your stroke is perfect--enviable etc.<br />What I was amazed by was the stroke of the guy next to you--how could he be so fast with THAT straight-armed bizarre recovery???<br />My other thought that your turnover on the run could be faster--but I didn't think you moved your body too much. You looked actually quite controlled. <br />That's my two cents--which is super valuable given all my experience with such things. Haha! :)GetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.com
