'Go Swim' has redesigned their site and they have indexed their content nicely

Glenn Mills has redesigned his site and it's a joy to go through now that his content has been better indexed.

I have always appreciated everything Glenn Mills has to say about swimming. Before there was Flowswimming or even before there was YouTube, Glenn Mills was out there posting 'kajillions' of Macromedia Flash movies of swim technique drills at his site GoSwim.tv.

GoSwim.tv is literally an encyclopedia of swim technique. His passion and love for the sport is clearly evident since all of the above content is free of charge.

The picture of above is just one photo in a series of eight of Kara Lynn Joyce grabbing lots of water with that HUGE catch of hers. Here is a direct link to the page featuring her stroke on a page titled "Centering your freestyle": [Link]

Here is a direct link to just some of his content:

• Butterfly
• Backstroke
• Breaststroke
• Freestyle
• All Strokes (IM)
• Starts & Turns

We were plagarazied! (But no one was hurt and no laws were broken, just my pride)

I am not going to say who copied us but they should have given us credit.

I posted a comment and a video a few weeks back about Ian Crocker's butterfly technique and how it defies the conventional sweep in and sweep out like an hour glass that Eddies Reese and David Marsh profess. Now, on 5-30-07 another blog posted the same video and the same comments after rewording my observations. You know who you are. Shame on you! >.<

• Check out world record holder, Ian Crocker's, butterfly. ... then a quick catch, whereby he anchors his hands and pulls himself directly forward... What's seems to be very different than most, besides the level of power and efficiency, is that, though many coaches seem to advocate it, there seems to be virtually no sculling, or out-sweep and in-sweep, in Ian's stroke.

Here are my original posts: [Link] - [Link]

Note that this video we both link to was posted to You Tube in 2006 but suddenly gets commented on with remarks similar to mine on 5-30-07 shortly after we did our piece. Lame! >.<

More Ian Crocker Fly but this time from underwater - Just loving that pull!

Ian Crocker does fly different than everybody!

His hands are perfectly set up for his catch and while most butterfly swimmers make an hour glass motion with their pull that comes into their chest and explodes out their hips, Crocker keeps his elbows higher and has more of a wobble in the pull than an hour glass shape that Marsh and Reese talk about. This video is is the best butterfly technique video I have seen at You Tube. Doing it this way has made my "anemic butterfly on life support" a second or so faster.
