Flexibility! And the surprise is really neat too, thanks Glenn! |

OK, that was fun. I've never used a QR scanner before, but it was easy. I wish that when I did my butterfly earlier today I'd looked anything at all like this swimmer. I need to watch that surprise a few times before the next time I do fly. She looks like a sine wave. The middle of her torso is where the origin of the X & Y axes meet. Her hips are at the top of the sine curve on the interval [0,pi]. And her shoulders/chest are at the bottom of the curve on the interval [-pi,0]. Feet and hands are on the X-axis. I love how she's leading with her chest as she grabs the water. I need to work on that more. |

kick in....kick out....soooo good..... |
|
|
QR is cool isn't it? Watch for more secrets like that. :) |
|
|
Glenn, can you have some secrets for me too on a normal computer?..
|
|
|
Are you one of the holdouts without an iPhone or Android? |
|
|
What are "holdouts"?... meaning holding on, on old fashioned established techniques? Yes then I am a "holdout". Probably I am too old for this web site... Boehoeh... (kidding) I am happy with my cellphone, my computer and my bicycle. (getting so nervous from all these new technical toys) So I have to pay for my being a "holdout" in letting go of my curiosity. .. By the way I love this website! |
|
|
Don't worry... we have something brewing for the non-app users. However, it more than likely will have app integration at some point, but you'll be fine. Thanks for the kudos on the site. We try. :) |
|
|
Do I see mirrors at the bottom of the pool? |
|
|
Yes you do. It's from a new video. |
|
|
When is the new video planned to be released? BTW. I've heard you're coming to Poland later this year for a talk during the Swimshop Battle conference, true ? |
|
|
Working on the video very hard right now. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Yes, heading to Poland toward the end of September. Really looking forward to it, you going to be there? |
|
|
I'm planning to be there, but just as a swimming enthusiast... I'm not good enough for the competition :) maybe next year. |
|
|
I like how she landed her hands softly on top of the water, kept them nice and high without "freestyling" them done, setting her up for a spring loaded snap back up to the surface. Very nice. |
|
|
"freestyling" them down, not "done". I'll blame it on my smartphone |
|
|
Seriously though... it's a beautiful little video isn't it? For those of you NOT using the app yet... the iPhone5 is on the horizon! ;) |
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
