Four points I learned:
1) When you get to the pool for a workout, jump off the blocks instead of just jumping in feet first. This allows you to practice your start dive several times a month rather than the day of a meet.
2) On my flip, I must be sure that I don't twist while flipping for it creates drag. Just land the turn with your feet shoulder width apart and then feel the power.
3) Don't breathe into or off the wall, it kills your momentum. (Fast Dave lesson.)
4) Fins really do make your ankles more floppy.
5) I should pattern my stroke after a Janet Evans, Laure Manaudou, or Popov due to the poor flexibility in my shoulders.

Fins make your ankles more floppy? What???
Fins make your ankles more flexible and relaxed and then when you take them off and swim, they feel nice and floppy. :-)
There are a number of things that can make your ankles more floppy. Not just buying some $30 fins.
Like buying $29 fins too.
