Niko	Responded May 26, 2006 09:36AM On the one hand it looks impressing, but on the other hand it looks strange for me. Probably he will have serious knee problems in some years. That's the price of high-end sports. I would not want to change with him.
Nickfromseattle	Responded May 26, 2006 10:11AM I like the technique - chest up back down, but is he a bit too far underwater?
Glenn Mills	Responded May 26, 2006 10:22AM I doubt this will lead to serious knee problems later. Aaron's built that way. Not all high-end sports lead to long term injuries.
chlorini	Responded May 26, 2006 11:58AM Is the glowing light at the end of that lane for the camera? Obviously, it's an unimportant and silly question, but, hey, it's Friday.
Glenn Mills	Responded May 26, 2006 12:41PM Nah. I wish we were important enough at the U of Texas to control the lights. :) Those lights are around the entire pool... it's very cool when they're all on.
iswim	Responded May 26, 2006 01:36PM beautiful streamline
Tomás	Responded May 26, 2006 01:41PM Well, in my humble opinion his ankles are a little bit stiff for the caliber of swimmer that he is. The most beautiful (and I think perfect) backward dolphin kick that I have ever seen is that one of Kaitlin Sandeno...and she has such flexible and floppy ankles that they act like fins. Tomas
chlorini	Responded May 26, 2006 04:05PM Is Aaron going to be the star of the next Go Swim DVD?
fiZZLe	Responded May 26, 2006 08:29PM Yea I think glenn let that one outa the bag a while ago. But isnt it getting more and more obvious with him being hte subject of lots of the pictures! Heh I can't wait, It'll be interesting since aaron has such great techniques and flexability.
jack	Responded May 26, 2006 10:11PM Aaron's streamline here is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to the new backstroke DVD. I'm sure it will contain drills and techniques to improve my own backstroke.
UM Nate	Responded May 27, 2006 05:08AM Nice positioning, pushoff from the wall, and streamline
Rhino	Responded May 29, 2006 02:02AM I think that comment on his ankles is wrong , the picture makes it look like they're stiff , but from how i've seen him swim , i'm sure they're just as flexible's as Sandeno
Tyler	Responded May 31, 2006 10:48AM How many dolphin kicks does he take to get to the 15m mark and how fast can he make it there?
