Practice Start

I really like this picture taken of my start a few days ago at Eastern! Thank you Sarah for a great pic!

I rarely do it, but I'm gonna go ahead and toot my own horn here... (begin toot) I've analyzed a lot of backstroke starts, and not many have a perfect arch and entry into the water (end toot). I believe a perfect entry and reduced splash probably helps my speed, I really enjoy studying it and making it better.
