Our Pic of the Week for this week focuses on Amanda's feet. Comment and get a link to a short clip. Sure, it's a bit more artsy than our usual pic, but we like to have fun too.

Wayne McCauley	Responded Aug 05, 2005 12:14PM Amandas feet are nice and still, maintaining a beautiful streamline. With the toes and heels relatively close together water have little to catch on to. I love the strength she is showing on the catch with her hand angled. It looks like she uses a lot of her back muscles during the catch.
A SWIM	Responded Aug 05, 2005 02:45PM interesting to see from this angle would like to see more. thanks
pravin	Responded Aug 06, 2005 01:52AM Not to be looked as streamline but to be looked as finishing of leg kick. kick is finished to pointing of toe position. Ankle flexion to be noted . It is almost near 180 degree to leg Hand sculling should also be noted. she is about to lift her head for breathing so streamline is not for consideration in this picture
RoPa	Responded Aug 06, 2005 11:31AM Nice shot. I'll like to see the original picture
swimbreast	Responded Aug 06, 2005 10:45PM Her stroke is just so beautiful to watch
aqman	Responded Aug 07, 2005 09:21PM Beutiful form. I would love to see the execution of the whole movement.
SS	Responded Aug 08, 2005 10:42AM The focus on keeping the feet together and toes pointed even as the catch begins is impressive. My feet tend to drift as I start thinking about the next arm pull if I don't concentrate. Nice arty photo by the way ;-)
Jane	Responded Aug 09, 2005 11:35AM Fantastic stuff, quite a good posture to learn from!
RyuN	Responded Oct 05, 2005 12:35PM interesting and beautiful!!
