Nice set...you have improved a lot! I used to watch you swim at Bally's while I was on a treadmill there. Never crossed paths there though, just at HFP races.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

TC,

I'm not in your competition thing. But I have been swimming a lot lately.

I am not really much of a fish, but I can hold my own. The funny thing is that on a dare from my kids, I swam a 400m IM the other day. finished in 8:14. Then a week later, I swam it in 7:48. I think I got a little faster just because I knew I could push it a little harder in the beginning.

Bernie

You can post even if you aren't in the competition. The competition was last month, actually - this month is like detention for those who didn't make their goals!

Thanks! We'll see what I can pull off tomorrow... still trying to ride hard 3x/week and easy 1x/week so my legs are pretty crispy, oh and run a little ;-) Hoping it will all pay off when it's taper time.

What does your meet line-up look like before Nationals? I don't know about you but I seriously need to work on my reaction time off the block... the last meet I did was an eye opener. I know fresh legs will help but I think it looked like I was taking a coffee break up there. Not sure how to improve that as I can't really practice starts at the pool I swim in.

In re: to breaststroke... does anyone know about the fly kick in the underwater pull-out? I thought it had to be done after the arm pull but someone said you can do it after the dive. Hmm.

The dolphin kick can't start until the breast pull is initiated. Really I think its like a fly pull/kick timing wise.

Breaststroking is killing my forearms! In freestyle, during recovery, your forearms get a little break. Not so in breaststroke, or at least in how I'm doing it; seems like my my wrists are in tension all the time and fatigues the forearm muscles that work to flex your hand upwards. The more I do, though, the stronger that will get, but still working on form to squeeze off some more seconds.

This AM, I should have brought a long-handled scrub brush and some Mr. Bubble! Pool was sooo hot! So didn't really push anything.

There was a DQ at my kid's meet the other day because the swimmer initiated the dolphin kick too early (there is actually a DQ code in the computer for this). When I see it the dolphin kick is initiated after the underwater pull-out. When you see a person do this and it is timed well, you can see the huge advantage. Also, there can only be one dolphin kick like that.

I made my flight reservations for Masters Nationals today, so there is no looking back. Well, there might be looking back, but evidently, there are no refunds. I don't know what I'm swimming yet. Still deciding between "where I would do better" versus "where I would have more fun" -- you know 200 breast stroke versus 50 free.

The meet schedule is:

2/25 -- Dallas Area Masters Short course meet -- SMU University short course pool
2/26 -- Republic of Texas World Short Course Championships (recently outlawed tech suit legal venue) -- SMU University short course pool
3/30 -- 4/1 -- South Central Zone Championships -- Southlake, TX

Really it's just two meets because both the DAM and Republic of Texas are on the same weekend.

The Republic of Texas meet isn't sanctioned by US masters swimming so they can make whatever rules they want. They decided to include 25's in the competition and also allow the recently outlawed tech suits. I don't have a fancy tech suit, but I think I will just show up on the blocks with my triathlon wetsuit and see if anyone says anything. The SMU pool is old school -- no gutters and a very shallow end. I hear the Southlake pool is pretty nice though.

The kick comes right before the initiation of the pullout. After the pullout you can only do breast stroke kick.

From FINA rules:

A single butterfly kick is permitted during the first arm stroke, followed by a breaststroke kick.
