You should come film another a&m women's practice. They are looking great, and should have an awesome season. The Rec Center also got a little makeover with record boards, and a new UV chlorination system.

Thanks, Momma Mia. Yup, as with just about any college I can think of these days, quality swimmers (and big oxygen intake units) are coming from everywhere. Right now we could play four national anthems before our meets!

I think the point is that he is looking for folks to film the meets and upload the videos. I have the time to film AZ HS States, but lack the right equipment or the funds to purchase the camera. Any thoughts on that?

NAIA national meet could use some publicity before NAIA swimming dwindles any more! It is pretty fast and getting deeper every year! It also showcases some Canadian teams!

I'll be the x'th to note that WWW are awesome and cannot wait to see some more! A workout from a FAST mens highschool program would be very interesting. Maybe catch up with some more of the top coaches/swimmers workouts. They sure won't be around forever! Soni, Coughlin, Righi, Cal Berkley, Trojan, Randal Bal (lactate tolerance sets?!) swim workouts all come to mind!

Mike- your writing leaves me speechless every time. You have a way of writing from your heart yet capturing and inviting the audience in with every word. I know you will get that big break soon.. in the mean time though... come visit!

Video - Mbro Dive
Maddie, Sound start, but a few things could help. First, reaction should be to push the hands out to stab the water. Also, the eyes are looking up too soon and then dropping down too soon. Watch in slow motion......drive the hands out and then get the head into position. Also watch the underwater. I know, it was after our hard IM day, but two to three dolphin kicks and then set up your FAST fluter kicks (you can kick 50s on :40 so use this as a weapon! ) Look to see how there is dead water once you have entered. We will film this some more and chart you progress.

Taylor, Lane lines would help, but when you roll over you HAVE to push your eyes down to the bottom of the pool, don't look up to see where you are at. Roll over with an aggressive arm pull and then set up your push and dolphin kicks. Don't be so rushed to come up, dolphin kick 4 + kicks and let your head STAY neutral, level with the water so your flutter kicks can set with the stroke. Watch how the head comes too far up so that it takes away from the direction you want to move. This is good, but you can make it even faster with a more aggressive approach into the wall and under the water before you breakout.
