On backstroke we would find a place on the ceiling during warm-ups and count strokes from there to know when to roll and flip. I hit the wall or came up too short a few times my freshman year though

No backstroke flags in that era?

Not sure where to post this (mods feel free to move to another forum), but a UT swimmer has become only the 2nd swimmer ever to achieve this feat:

Crooks Swims 50 yards in Under 18 Seconds

He's only 3/10 of a second behind Caleb Dressel's collegiate record and he's only a Sophomore. We could have another UT Olympian soon.

Here's a video of the swim, albeit on a UGA swim YouTube channel:

Seems like the Ray Bussard days. I really like the direction in which the U T athletic Department is heading.

Reduce. Yards times are always faster due to the push off the wall on a turn

No doubt…it’s always funny to me to see some of the guys get well past the halfway point just from their push
