WHY DO THE CROSS OVER

Today the Gold group @7:00 took their shot at our wheel.  Happy 😃 to report that no one from this group had a time out issued to them, OUTSTANDING.

Your results 

4x100 @ 1:51
4x100 @ 2:00
4x100 @ 1:53
4x100 @1:48
3x100 @ 1:50

So why are we going to work on the crossover turn, simply said because we can and it’s a perfect time to do it.   What seems so long ago was the discussion we had about your tool box and what should be in it.  Well this is just something to add to it.   Quite frankly I get tired of watching swimmers do what they think is the turn and in reality it’s just something you think is 😎 cool, and other than that you really don’t have a “legitimate” reason for do it.  

As I see it there are two advantages if done with precision, one being that it allows you reach further and get there sooner which is what all swimmers are trying to do.  

The second involves the law of inertia, which simply means your body wants to keep moving in the same direction and this turn allows you to do that without stopping to change direction.

Do you have to use it ?  No but it may be something that over time you can master and Gain an advantage in your races.

HAVE FUN WITH IT!
