Excellent break out action shot. Wish I could get my little ones to delay the pull to this point! The power coming from the right arm looks immense

Her thumb is down and the palm is facing in.

wow that was different - mine goes opposite as her

I'd expect that as she finishes the right arm stroke, her hips will start the rotation that turns the shoulders, the left arm and hand so they catch as deep or deeper than they are in the picture for the second catch ... man, for most of us that hand is shooting into the air and has to chop back into the water - hers is almost like a reflection of an ideal freestyle breakout.

Her head looks slightly to the left, because she is anticipating the rotation to that side.

Except for the nose bubbles... she is completely uncarbonated.

how she is completey uncarbonated, Barbara? - I am so sorry cos I am so confused at that pic - what she doing on that pic?

Responded Mar 18, 2009 06:54PM

Hey James... Barbara just means she's totally without bubbles. :)

Responded Mar 18, 2009 06:55PM

Not entirely sure but I think it's a breakout. By uncarbonated I mean there are no bubbles.

If she is comming off the wall her palms would be up she is breaking out of stream line. If her right arm is her first pull her head is to the left anticipating her next rotation. Cool

Beautiful breakout!!!

Yeah I mean how come she's totally without bubbles? how she do it?
