Flip Turns

Okay so on january 4th and 5th swimming had the normal kalani invitational. so at finals on the fifth, it was between me and this other girl in the 200 free. we were pretty close and then at the last turn she got more of an explosion off the wall due to her fast turn. this had to do with rotational KE and torque because the week after our coach made us work on turns and i figured that instead of curling my legs, i should extend them so that it increases the "lever arm" thus increasing torque. cool yeah? okay...on to second semester...yay...
