![]() I didn watch good enough.
His first 25m is fly. With the dive and 2 kicks per stroke, his last lap is a half free without the dive and 3 kicks per stroke. Last edited by Zenturtle : 10-22-2015 at 10:11 PM. |

![]() To the casual observer, one-armed fly can look a lot like one-armed freestyle. The difference one sees in the usual form of one-armed fly is that they recommend you keep your other arm extended in front of you (for reasons I'm not sure I understand) whereas in one-armed free they suggest keeping your other arm down by your side. I guess the arm in front of you helps in fly when the working arm comes forward and helps with the undulation, but I'm not sure.

Some of us are, some aren't. I am in the sense that I learned to swim from the Red Cross as a kid but did very little swimming as an adult until 5 years ago. As for whether we struggle, of course we do. We have our own injuries, tight and weak muscles, good days and bad just as everyone else. It's just a matter of trying to continually improve and focus on areas that need improvement. You can use the knowledge you have as a TI swimmer to either say "Oh look, I need to improve on < >" or you can use it to say "I stink, I'll never get this down." Most all of us have those mental battles upon occasion. The trick is to recognize such thoughts as simply thoughts and let go of them instead of embracing them, then get on with what you came to the pool or ocean to do. As for times, my longer course open water swimming, 1500 meters plus, have improved dramatically in the past few years. While my 100 yard times haven't seen the same percentage improvements they have also improved and continue to do so. I tend to track SPL closer than I do lap times anyway. Also, I'm rarely attempting to speed through a pool session. I use those for practicing technique and when the ocean here is too rough to swim in. Aloha |
