Needs to learn how to dolphin kick off the start. Everyone else is doing it.

Do you mean legal or illegal dolphin kicks? If it’s legal then I’m pretty sure he’s doing it. If it’s illegal then I think you need to watch the underwater shot of the start of 100m Olympic final. There’s only one person who chucks in a little secondary kick.

He’s got his work cut out for him. Auburn is nicer in the winter, but not so sure he shouldn’t move to Kansas and train with MA every day. MA along with Whitley (4 years older) will definitely be the markers going into 2020.

But I fear the worst in the next few weeks with that kind of things…. 😆
I will not ask you how do you do. However I would like to post videos as I used to do it. When I posted the links the videos used to appear on the page. Now we can see only the links and are forced to leave swimswam to watch the videos. I wonder what has changed since the new format of the comment section. I hope I’ve been clear. I’m not a specialist.
Example. The famous pool where MA trains.

Only the link appears. Unlike Mel Stewart’s videos above. What I have to do differently? Or maybe it’s not possible anymore for commenters?

Imagine Whitley in MA’s training pool!
Once he dives I think in 2 strokes he touches the wall.

Think I might have to print this out and frame it, if I’m interpreting it correctly.
