Pretty amazing video - Technique and Inspiration

I want to just post the video but can't get it to fit on screen. Here is the link - HERE. Not much of a YouTube watcher but this video is something else. This guys goes a 32 point 50 LCM with no arms. What can we learn from this? Keep this in mind while your slogging through another practice!
Thanks

B Conference Meet Help and 13 and Over Meet

We will be hosting the summer B Conference Meet next week Tuesday, July 20. Warm-up starts at 2:30 pm and the meet starts at 3:30 pm. We could use help with marshalling the kids and running cards. If you can help, please be there by 2:30 pm to help get things rolling. I will start working on setting things up by 1:00 if you would be available to help with that. This meet brings in over $2,000 for our program that we can use for many different things. If parents would like to help with timing, meet hospitality or marshalling that would be great too. We'll see you Tuesday.

The 13 and Over meet will be next Wednesday, July 21 at Zeeland Natatorium. Warm-up starts at 4:00 pm and the meet starts at 5:00 pm. You need to be checked in and ready to roll by 4:10 pm. All summer age group swimmers will be entered into the meet unless I am told otherwise.
Thanks
