Proposal: Pool Filming Session and Mob Laps



Let's follow our great weekend practice swim with a pool filming session. Many swimming questions are based on form that's tough to describe. I often have no idea what I'm doing in the water (or elsewhere in the world, for that matter). Leon will tell me what I'm doing and then all of a sudden I see it for the first time.

So the goal of the session is to get a chance to view all of our swim strokes from out of and in the water. I'll get a better waterproofing system for the video cam. We can probably use the LA Fitness Northlake facility, but something deeper would be ideal. Thoughts?

I'm not sure what days/times work best for folks. We need to avoid the dinner time rush. Could do a little later in the evening. Or in the morning. Thoughts?

And Vanessa wants to work on some Mob Laps... three or four peeps in the lane at once swimming together to emulate some open water. Should be interesting. May get us kicked out of the pool.

Update: Keith recommends the deep pool at Dynamo Swimming. Great idea. As a member of tri-atlanta, he and Vanessa can get in on Tue or Thur from 8-10PM. I'm checking with Keith now to see if September 9th at 8:00PM works. If so I'll post another entry with details.
