aloysius will be our coach next year :D

ok aside from that, i asked him when he's free to do private group trainings. details are as follows:

Weekday afternoons, 2-4pm or 3-5pm. $30 per person, if it's a group of 4. a group of 6 will be cheaper. lane charges have been included. if you're interested, tag on tagboard the days and timings you'd prefer. alternatively, felix suggested the Chinese Swimming Club coach Uncle Rick. ruiyi said that his group session cost more than $40. go to him if you have the money, he's a good coach. 

hmm ok, so that settles the private trainings. if you're self-training, work on  

- *ACCURACY*  because sparing helps a lot... and you have to be accurate before everything can fall in place! 

- RELEASE / REVS, as dingchun puts it. first must make sure that your wrist is locked and you don't turn too early (girls, take note). hand behind your ball at point of release, then lift and turn only at the point of release, to generate rev. then... follow through!

- watch videos:

Walter Ray William's slo-mo release

Tommy Jones's slo-mo

for girls, Zara Glover's currently one of the best in terms of technique, but i can't seem to find videos that focus on her release... alternatively, Kirsten Penny's not bad too. 

ok that's all!
