[kobac]

what's the name of the song?

[VioletTeen17]

I'm so excited! I finally get to go back to practice after a 5 week break today! :D

[VioletTeen17]

She makes it all look so easy, she makes you want to look just like her in the water

[rickierich1]

what are your hands suppose to be like in the water, fingers together or apart.

[VioletTeen17]

@rickierich1 Its not really something you wanna be thinking about to much, like for me, my fingers are spread apart slightly.

[wanderingwriter33]

@rickierich1 together. they are there to cup the water and pull you along. so keep them together.

[GMZTORP]

@rickierich1 apart, because if they'together you'll put too much pressure on the shoulder joints...And if you swim for a long period of time you will feel the pain and possibly injury your shoulder with a common injury between swiimerds called "the swimmer shoulder"

[rickierich1]

@GMZTORP Thanks I think I had that as a kid.

[backstrokeswimgirl]

[sylence7]

[pvasco3]

it's not always close to the lane it's the camera you idiots xD

[bubutheswimmer]

thank you-good drills and hints

[cellardoor70]

she doesnt enter the water at 10:00 and 2:00 AT ALL. More like 11.30 and 00:30.

[DashingNikko]

she's AMAZING!

[batlin]

Cool, picked up some great tips there. Especially the "try not to turn your head - use your body roll" one for front crawl; I've been getting a cramp in my neck and shoulder muscles on the side I turn to breathe - obviously I'm not rolling my torso properly!

[bioches]

whys she so close to the lane o.0

[getinthepool]

Nat's always close to the lane!

[sonnikaru]

I LOVE YOU!!!
