this is the one?

Top up $1+ u can get the speedo one for abt $11+ at World of sport.
Normal selling $22..quality very good and made in France.

Btw point to note is tats if u r like Jay Cuttler or working to it, chances u will tend to sink due to muscle cos they r heavier den fat. So do not be discorage if one tends to sink initially as u learn to overcome it wth time.

i am not a fan of FS, people leisurely use FS to swim, i use BS to swim one.

swimming got marks ar? i thought gold means gold liao.

i also not perfectionist, if perfectionist, i can say BS is harder to perfect than FS.

Your "BS" stands for what huh ??? If its butterfly, then you must be superman ...

Then your last sentence you said "BS" is harder to perfect than FS ...... this one

stands for what again ??? Very confusing ...

I have no intention to suan anyone here but to be able to say something is

easy to master, you must make sure you are damn good in it ...

If not, better keep your tone down and be humble about it ...

:look:

So wats the verdict? 1kg muscle is heavier than 1 kg fat? or 1 kg fat float easier than 1 kg muscle? im confused here.

i think the correct way to put it is that muscle is denser than fats.

maybe 1kg of balloon & 1kg of wood...wic will float better?
or maybe 60kg man with all fats n a 60kg muscleman both same weight but the 60kg man with all fats will hv better bouyancy n if his technic n stroke is correct he will glide effortly in the water.
The muscle man will tends to sink n use more energy to try to keep his legs just below the water....Just observe in the pool u will get wat i mean..

this was taught to us long ago in our SI class..forgot liao happen to remember.

Yeah... those with lean muscle.... or heavy bone density are the one that cannot float well. Old man, baby, woman are the category that can float well. Old man float well cos of the lighter bone density compared to young ppl. Baby due to lot of fat and light weight. Woman because of the chest....

So how you ppl are doing with your prone glide? I will touch on the next chapter of drill next week.

During gliding, your leg should straighten, pointed toe, feet close togethere and stay still. The purpose is to make yourself like a pencil...or a log.
