Video of the dive: 161m DYN

  1. A speed suit will give you at least 10% more. A little work on getting more out of your up kick will help too. There are quite a few kicks per length, I think we're (Kiwis) mostly averaging about 1 kick to 3m now.

  2. Well done!
    Just a curiosity: which brand of mono are you swimming with?

  3. I left my speed suit at home that day. The whole dive was about how my mind would work, so I didn't care much about drag or style or heavy legs.

    I will work on speeding up a little, and using less kicks per lane. Stig pointed out some things that I will work on to get more strength into the kick, so I'll see how that works :)

    Andrea: Thanks! My monofin is a Russian one, don't know if it has a name as it's pretty much hand made, but the style is called hyperfin.

  4. Very impressive ! I personaly feel uncomfortable soon when I am too slow, but it works well for you !

    I guess you should spend a lot a time to stretch your shoulders... that is the way I work since I have noticed I may save a lot of oxygen !

    Congratulations

    Regards
