[quote=Anonymous]Once he got the basic stroke mechanics, my DS's first big drop in time came when he figured out the turns. That took him from a strictly B meet swimmer mid-season to the top 5 at divisionals just a couple weeks later. The next big drop had something to do with the underwater portion at the start. I'm not a swimmer and don't know exactly what the change was - I think it was how he was kicking? Anyway, he dropped another 5-10 seconds from that tweak. Since then, it's been shaving a fraction of a second here and there from strength and form. The turns and the starts were the biggest single-item effects. [/quote]
