Cool picture (when's the DVD Glenn...?:) Can't wait for some good video of turning. Last week I was privileged to swim with a Latvian team swimmer (I think). We were doing a 100m set where by lengths 2 & 3 were slow/recoveries and 1 & 4 were all out. Granted he never went all out, but he did nicely pace me on the slow/recovery lengths. What really impressed me was his turns - yes I know he's a *much* better swimmer than me, yes I know he's a *much* faster swimmer than me (blah... blah) BUT the thing that really impressed was his turn speed - we swam the same pace into the wall for the final turn and BANG!!! Where'd he go?! By the time I'd flipped and gotten ready to push off - he was *MILES* in front. Did I ask when the DVD's coming out? Okay among the many things I like about this picture is the lack of turbulance and bubbles - very cool indeed. |

Making great progress on the DVD. Just ran into a couple hold ups, plus had to go film Brendan (scheduling). Should have more news in the next 7-10 days. Man, I hate to make promises... but trust that I'm getting closer EVERY day. THAT'S a promise. |

What I like is that she is actually LOOKING at her knees/feet as the feet hit the wall. I've been trying this at practice this week, and it really works to improve your sense of timing -- of being ready to push as soon as your feet hit the wall. |

this is undoubtedly one of the reasons for all of her records-turns are so critical in dropping your times. great picture- i look forward to the video. |

also, you can see from the splash that her feet have just hit the wall but look how quickly she has extended her body. what timing! |

Does not seem she is waiting long. |
