Underwater "Stroke Evaluation" Pictures From Dix Hills: 8/31/06

It really isn't as sunny, (ie. WARM) as it looks! It is amazing what you can do in Photoshop.

This is a great group of photos to use to check out stroke form. Chris V is above.

And, above is Ken -- a regular West Neck OWS'er trying out Huntington's ONLY 50 meter pool.

Thanks to Bob for my picture above. Now if I, (Mike), could only learn to swim and take pictures at the same time...

Scott or is it Ken (?) shows some really good extension. Maybe that's the secret of fast swimming!
